    I was saying to my husband tonight that Jayco Conquest Motorhomes seem to be one of the most popular ones around. We’ve driven across Australia from the east coast and arrived in Norseman. We will be heading to Albany in a couple of weeks and then will drive back across to the east coast from mid January. We might see you along the way. Another FA25-1.

    Really enjoying your videos - we are considering buying a motorhome and travelling with our 3 Kelpies. You can flat tow an automatic Suzuki Jimmy, which we are consider in. We would sell our small VW Golf and replace it so no double up for rego etc.

    Your hot water does seem to be an issue. We have a 2017 25-1 and it has a Suburban storage tank that runs on gas or electricity. We have less than 5 secs for the water to come through hot and it stays hot in between turning on/off. Might be worth exploring if your tank is working properly. Thanks for your video.

    • @Carlshandlebarsandholidays
      @Carlshandlebarsandholidays 26 днів тому

      Hi, firstly thanks for watching and thanks for your comment. Yes what you have is the older ‘storage tank’ system, which in my opinion is a much better idea. Now on the new vehicles they put the instantaneous systems in, but as you’ve seen not exactly instantaneous are they LOL Another case of not everything improving with time unfortunately! I don’t actually think there’s anything “wrong” with ours, it seems to be just the way they are. I’m still gonna look into it though 👍👍👍

  • @markjohns4826
    @markjohns4826 27 днів тому

    With our 25-1 I’ve clocked the tap on till flame fire up time and it seems too long. We had instantaneous gas hot water on our boat which would ignite the instant the tap was on! I did wonder whether there were some adjustment that could be made, but haven’t been able to find any. Some owners have installed the temper valve to divert the cooler water back to the tank!

    • @Carlshandlebarsandholidays
      @Carlshandlebarsandholidays 27 днів тому

      @@markjohns4826 ye I’m not aware of any adjustment either and yes I know about the valve but I don’t think that’s without it’s frustrations too, mainly because it STOPS the flow till the hot comes through, which wouldn’t be that nice in the shower either. Thanks for watching 👍

    • @Carlshandlebarsandholidays
      @Carlshandlebarsandholidays Місяць тому

      Hi guys, yes Mandurah is lovely for sure. Before we moved house we had a pool and we did consider getting him a floaty vest, but as he’s such an over-confident dog we decided it could be a bit dangerous, as if he was to get into the pool area without it on, he’d likely jump right in. As it is, he ‘knows’ to avoid going out of his depth, so probably best left that way. But thanks for thinking about him. 👍
