@timbo2002 only put a large square of anti slip matt under there. Next to the HWS is the Weber and on the side the little ceramic heater.
I did put John Guest clips on there as worried it get a knock and leak.
Although yes you think they box it in

Found that the shower wall has bowed out from the wall. Another thing for the warranty list. Not sure if you'll see it in this pic down along the bottom where the shower wall overlaps the shower floor.

Ouch. Good luck with the warranty claim. I'm sure they will come to the party

 

[davemc]

no good @halbster what else gone wrong for you?

 

[achjimmy]

Bad luck mate. That was a problem on a few expandas too, we dodged that bullet last time. Did it come out on a hot day ?

We have a tiny hairline crack in the shower base. I have shown them but not doing anything about it unless it propagates .

 

[halbster]

Do you know how they have fixed this issue in the past Jimmy? Just so I'm prepared when I take it there to get fixed.

No other issues yet Dave - touch wood.

One of two things.

They either peel it off in one piece and reseal it.

Or they peel it off and they break it in the process and then just replace the whole thing and reseal it all.

Fairly common on shower toilets had it on two vans personally.

 

[halbster]

At least they can fix it thanks for letting me know.

 

[halbster]

Gotta love that vent above the bed.

 

[davemc]

@halbster what the.. yes great very great.. ours above the stove used to move the TV if we went out before I got a arm as I worried it leak in
was power on as that 240v is just under

 

[halbster]

Yes Dave the power was on, a bit of worry that, will try and have a closer look at the vent today.

 

[davemc]

crap... we had some big storms up gold coast nothing leaked there although I did not like leaving things there just incase.
Was the rain coming in sideways against the vent? You think did they add it there for gas regulations although having a vent that water can come in over a live power point you think would not be good Electrical setup

 

[halbster]

Here's the problem, the outside top edge of the vent has bowed out leaving a couple of mm gap in the sealant.

That's not going to help

Hi all, thanks to all the good people on this forum with their advice , experiences ( kitchen windows disappearing, stove swapping places with sink etc) and photos we have taken the plunge and purchased a 17.58.3 touring, have been very busy finding best deal on stock van, Ended up purchasing quite a distance from home purchased our van from Jayco at Orange NSW. The van has, fridge up grade (164 L) roof air upgrade, underslung axles + drop jacks, sound system + external speakers, gas bayonet, 19" tv + aerial with 12volt external outlets, picnic table, 120 watt solar panel, control panel and bed converter

Warranty job mate. I have always found these things let water in when washing the van, the weather the other day was definitely wild and if that's the worse you got that pretty good. I am still out on whether to block this vent? Not sure of It's purpose now it's not over the stove , and ours doesn't have the usual warning label about keeping unrestricted blah blah.
