On those Alko fit. I've been looking at ways of using those door stoppers so once it's parked up they can't rattle around and break.
Cruza Drivers OUTBACK EXPANDA 16.49-3 Trips and Mods

During the week I went and took a look around the AWARD RV store, that place is very dangerous to the contents of your wallet. The sales staff were very helpful with any questions I had.
I went down there to purchase a B.E.S.T. Water Filter as its something that I have wanted for some time but never bought. We always only fill the water tanks with town water and have never had any water issues. But I thought I might as well get one for a bit of extra insurance though to allow for varying water quality.
I also bought a concave block to go under the jockey wheel and a pop up toaster that sits in the stove top. See I said that was a dangerous place for your wallet, I didn't even know I needed these things

I've got one of those inline BEST filters too. Use it every time I fill the tanks.
It's about 5 years old now so it may be time for a new one.
Yes. AwardRV is a dangerous place, both in a their store and online on Ebay, they have plenty I "need".........

I mounted a small drinking tap that I got from Bunnings and placed the water filter in line with that and nothing else.
My theory being that if the only thing I would want to filter is what I drink then hopefully I am extending the life of the filter.

@cruza driver i don't belive @relgate has done any of these mods cause they haven't been reported!!!
Did @relgate actually buy a starcraft you think? Maybe he photoshopped in the van and it actually doesn't exist ha ha.
I was looking at something like this to attach for better drinking water.........

instead of carrying bottled water all the time for drinking

The OE tyres on the Expanda are approaching 4.5 years old so I thought I might replace them before they let me down (no pun intended 
) They still have plenty of tread and have never had a puncture. They have covered their far share of Outback roads without issue too. Another reason for the change was I wanted some L/T tyres for there better construction.
I originally wanted to replace them with BFG A/T's but after doing a bit of research they were only rated to 900kg. I was disappointed as this was my 1st choice This was not rated high enough as I required 1000kg or better for the 16.49-3
So I did a bit more research and thought about the Bridgestone 697's that I have fitted on our Pajero. Checking their load rating resulted in a 1060kg capacity. This was ample for the 16 and a lot more than the BFG A/T's :nod: The only downside was no white writing on the tyres............something I'll have to get use to They have a nice deep tread pattern too.
