Nice job Grant. Always moments of terror when drilling holes in the van. One thing that sprang to mind, looking at the price of the bits, would it have been easier/cheaper just to get the new StarLink mini that runs directly from USB-C? All the changes are certainly making the van much better for life on the road again.

13:28 you obviously haven’t built caravan’s before!! 🤪🤦‍♂️

Where did you get the antenna bracket and pole from?

noice

Interesting product. Have kinda checked the cowfish out too but man they are all so expensive hey. Keen to see how you find it.

Another great how to episode no where as frustrating as fixing a window. Keep these great interesting episodes coming.

Hey Grant. Congratulations on successfully installing it. I really was hoping to see you getting your head stuck in the cupboard. I’ve done it and was told it was amusing for everyone but me😂😂. I’m told you should be pretty happy with that unit. 😊

Hi, great to see you again, does it say to silicon the bung on the roof ?

Well done on the undercarriage, I'd be interested to know if the van is warmer in winter..thanks Kerry

Our sirocco fan has the same noise Just a thought would you be able to adjust the lever on the side that’s playing up possibly winding it up or down a couple of turns to maybe pull that side in at the same time

Beautiful Sirenia Beach at Burrum Heads. We walk this beach every morning

No no no no Please leave aluminium checker plate. We left home without our rock tamer and did only 180:Klms in gravel road. Suffered lot of damage,be to our black checker plate. Now we will have to replay at sometime in the future. Leave silver!!!!!!!!. You are both doing a great maintenance work. Van is looking great.

Hi Grant great job on the bloody window, they sure are a dozzy of a job, I'm glad I'm not doing it once was enough years ago lol. Don't know how ya didn't loose your shit. Try a couple of small plastic containers with screw on lids " about half a beer can in size drill 1/8 holes add a bit of rice in bottom and 3/4 fil with bicarb/ baking soda, shake we'll repeat once a week this will absorb most of the moisture, change every couple of months or when goes hard - i double sided Velcro so it stays that way while traveling, can always use old to dust around things outside the control ants Good luck mate .

Bianca you have done a brilliant job.... Next job..replacing the curtains?? Lol

Hey Grant, I ended up hitting the same side of my back window winder arm with a grinder and redrilling a new hole, It now works like a treat. But I can't say to do it for your new mechs as i was in a hurry to get my build done for a trip, I'm thinking because you are so close to closing you could try to adjust that one side by a turn or 2 and see if that helps it sit right. Hope this helps see how you go. I ended up changing all of my pop rivets that connect the window to the winder over to m3 lock nuts and bolts so I never have to drill out a rivet again.

We did similar but went for the Natures Head rather than the Ogo. With no motor or internal wiring or control board there’s less to go wrong in a manual agitator model. Having said that, changing from a cassette to a composting loo is the best thing we’ve done. Last trip we went over 5 weeks of solid use before needing to empty the toilet. As some others have mentioned, we prefer to bag the paper and dispose of it in the bin or on the fire.

After watching so many people saying how great the sirocco fan were we had to get one and wow how disappointed we were🤷🏻

I think all van windows are apt to need a bit of a push from outside.

Im guessing you have it sorted now but I replaced our winders a while back and found the easy way to fix the problem was to take out the bar at the top of the window gently on the side that is closed and turn it just enough to close the other side then put it back in,hope I explained it so people can understand 😀

Hi grant Black fans look better

I could see the frustration building. Walking away when it gets too much is a good idea as I’ve found that burning the whole thing to the ground doesn’t seem to help for some strange reason 😂😂😂❤

Has anyone out there replaced their glass windows to tinted plastic ones and was it worth it 🤔

My winding mechanisms are working well but my glass windows are cracking now its a 2000 built roadstar caravan , im thinking off replacing all the glass windows for that tinted plastic stuff i have on my door that works well 🤔 i want to keep the original frames and winders and i guess it will save a bit off weight to , has anyone out there done this mod

So much patients Grant. I think we’d have ended up using a bigger hammer to solve the rear window issue. And you are right about Sirocco fans, they are fantastic. Although corrugations have broken two of ours so far. So we know how to quickly replace them. 😂. Good to see Baxter helping 👍

Oh man that would’ve been so frustrating. Well done keeping your cool 😂

Well done quite a list. The beauty of a list it gives satisfaction when all items are ticked off. BTW didn’t see ‘check anode in hot water tank ‘ on your list, or have you done that recently?

Rear Window 2 (coming soon) ?

We had the same windows in our old jayco songbird, we had to repair a couple of the over the 30 years we had it, what I noticed while watching you was that when we released the mechanism was the windows would just flop down to the van. So we're thinking that is the thing you need to get right to get it to work right ( better) even doing that you may still find you will have to push the windows from the outside to lock as our were the same but it was the slide lock the would ware over the years. Well done staying calm I can still see my husband pacing around in frustration 😅. But to be honest I wish our new van had the winding windows instead of the let's push and hope they stay open.

Is the window slightly warped? That would be killing me😂😂😂

super frustrating ahhhhhhhh your have more patience than me well done

There are a lot of good apple farms around Stanthorpe.

great vid guys, lived on the road for a few years now in my caravan and my crappy little washing machine is one of the best things i own, my devanti twin tub for only 170 bux is so good weighs nothing and parks outside pretty much all the time, I really not keen on laundry mats, the spinner saves a lot of water with rinsing. and you can was multiple loads in the same water. i mean i really love my washing machine.. as soon as something goes wrong with it i order another,, honestly on my third one now, so the quality is not great but still its the best.

Such a great job. Loved your video

Just watched you recovering your lounge cushions. Looks absolutely awesome, and you made the instructions so simple. Great job.

Wow Bianca that looks amazing, I love it and that feeling of accomplishment makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside 🥰

Excellent video

You did such a great job 👍😊

Looks amazing. Looks very professionally done

Awesome job looks amazing

Nice job Bianca! You should be proud of your new couch, looks great.

Fantastic job. Next it will be clipping the claws of Frank & Baxter to stop them destroying all your hard work.

Hi Bianca. You did a great job with the cushions. We also travel with dogs we purchased elastic tube material we put over the flat cushion s easy to take off and wash we purchased from spotlight i think. Keep up the great videos .Cheers Alby
