JaycoQ's 20.64.1OB

[JaycoQ]

Just picked up the van after a couple of issues were sorted. The lounge cushions were replaced after one split down the seam. Must have been the end of the roll.
The other issue was water getting inside the van and triping the power. I believe someone else had the same issue where it was coming through the fridge vent. The service guy initially said the 240 inlet was missing a seal, great fix it but doesn't explain how water would get in with the slide out, the 240 plug is underneath. They checked again and remember someone else had the same issue.
Looking at the picture there's water sitting on the vent frame. There are 3 channels running front to back, which look as though they were made for water to flow into the van.:doh:
A foam strip along the inside edge and a bead of silicone to form a ridge was the fix. Let's hope it works.

I had the same thing when we picked up the van. I used a coles bag to act as a bit of flashing and it worked perfectly. The 'fix it guys' added a bit of white plastic stuff along the top of the fridge vent (glued and screwed) to act as a gutter, so hopefully no more water leaks. Unfortunately haven't been away when it has been raining so haven't had the chance to check it out. The gutter add on , I was told, is meant to be standard as it is a common leaking point. I have my fingers crossed for you that yours is fine from now on, but keep some plastic bags handy. (I took the vent off and then put it back on with the bag held in at the top and the rest of it was draped over the outside. It allowed the water to hit the bag and run straight down the outside instead of under the fridge.)

Interesting !!!!!! I wonder if they have been fitted upside down ????............must have had a design change as I haven't seen that style in the flesh, so to speak.

 

[JaycoQ]

A quick mod to get ready for camping over winter.

 

[Base23]

Where did you get them from or did you make them yourself?

 

[JaycoQ]

Carpet was a roll end $50. I cut it to size and had it over locked, they charge by the metre so worked out to $100.

 

[Drover]

Thats cool but not for me, just getting the burrs out of that little bit of step carpet drives me nuts.................................hang on I already am.

Haha! We're a no shoes inside van family so tends to stay pretty clean. The step carpet is a bit like the monkey fur they use to line the inside walls in the cabin of my boat.

Nice i want carpet in mine but misses is holding me back dose it move at all its not rubber backed is it it dose look good

 

[JaycoQ]

No not rubber backed. Haven't used them on a trip yet, the bigger mats are about 1800mm in length and non are square, cut around corners so shouldn't move much. We were using smaller square mats previously, these were ok.

Another bike carrier!!!

 

[Drover]

Damn can't spell the word I want, thats looks great anyway, shouldn't fall off.

I hope not. Will have a trial run this coming weekend and limit to 3 bikes.

" And reversed the tv antenna point to inside the tv cabinet."


I guess this is the front TV point , left side of front door stepping in. Seriously why Jayco placed mine and I assume yours facing the front bed. Which jams on the mattress opening / closing is beyond me. You would think they have never built a van before

Its ridiculous where they put the tv antenna plug on the outside.. that was 1 of the first mods i did.. put it on the inside..

[JaycoQ]

Yes the one at the front, the service centre did it at the first service.

If you don't mind me asking - did you have to replace the rear bar to fit the carrier?

 

[JaycoQ]

Hi #chrisfatboysydney there was enough space to keep the factory bar without modification.

Ahh. So you mounted it to the chassis?

 

[JaycoQ]

Yes it's chassis mounted to outside wall only, nuts are inside chassis rails. So not to "crush" the box section.
