Like Doug said, the height when folded down is a bonus as it can fit into the average carport/garage when down, unlike some caravans etc, however unless the roof is particularly high or has been modified (I saw one that had the middle of the carport roof raised in an A shape) it cannot have the roof raised, although a partial raising can be achieved if you don't mind crawling in and out. One thing I like with having the roof down for travel, is the door cannot open and swing out as the roof slides over the top of the door, better security too if the roof is padlocked at the locking points. Luckily I had some wire on board so used that to secure the hinges and tied down the roof with ropes. But Why doesn't the pump STOP, Hi Bea, I'm no expert just handy :) My understanding is the pump maintains pressure in the line if it's left on. Just one problem .. the water pump??? I contacted Avan and was told that the foam is 3/4 x3/4 h/density..maybe Neither of those options suited us, so we kept the van. Try doing short trips on dirt like 20 ks or so to see how the vehicle handles it. We bought a brand new A-Van Cruiseliner Adventure Plus.Within days the door handle fell off in our hands.

Hi Sam-thanks for getting back on my query. Here is a link to the grand roof raising ceremony to the most recent US older A-Frame trailer that had these installed a week ago: So just replacing the factory springs could destroy your roof panels. I did take mine on a very rough corrugated and stony road near Nimbin that seemed to go on forever, a retaining bolt fell out of one ofthe overhead (when up) wind out hatches but otherwise survived that trip ok. Later towards the end of the 7 years, the large rear wind out window of mine worethrough the aluminium rivets on the three hinges that held it to the body, and I nearly lost the hatch into the Gt Australian Bight when a very strong Northerly wind (blowing out to sea) go under it, is SWMBO had not seen it in time before we turned into the wind it would have ended up over the cliff in the drinkmanaged to tie it down with coat hanger wire and ropes until I could get it fixed. WebAvan RVs have Centurion Chassis made with hot dipped galvanised steel that protects them from corrosion. Drove to BorderVillage but no mechanic there or help, and at Eucla the mechanic was playing golf on a bush gold link somewhere (not the NullaborLinks) and was not expected back for some time. When I got to the border inspection they made me undo all the ropes and lift the roof a bit so they could inspect inside (bummer), the girl inspector crawled inside the partly open roof to check the fridge, at least I didn't have to lift the whole roof and only had to re-secure the ropes. You could get the new car home and find you can't get inside it without exceeding GVM with the van attached. When I called them they were closed for several weekdays ,when I eventually made contact with them I was referred back to the Manager at Campbellfield who after discussing problem , he gave me a date to bring it in to fix it under warranty. . On the road it is subjected to water, grit, oils etc and probably worth checking out in your maintainence schedule. We had an earlier 2000 model and it had the lower walls which meant it had the smaller fridge, around about that time they started to bring them out with higher walls and a larger fridge, can't remember the capacity now, will be on the A'van website somewhere. Just how heavy is the Avan to erect? If you already have an avan go to the other caravan bloke in town, polite, knows what he is doing, and does it in a timely manner. Avan is 4 years old and some compression has taken place.Looking around at Bunnings I couldnt find anything around the 15mm x 15mm mark. The tare was 1020, the two ball mass rating was 160 kg from memory, the ATM was 1350, but the axle rating was a whopping 2000 kg. Think the 100 mm blower puts in about 270 cubic litres a minute. IMHO for a long time allowances have been inadequate and probably unethical. Additional weight tax may apply for NSW registered vehicles. For Avan Nowra once the deal is done service response in our instance is non existent. This is an Adventure Plus with Solar Panel.The battery capacity has been a problem from day one. We asked the dealer/factory to send a bunk ladder that never came with the van. I am going to change the springs sometime this year on ours but there is no rush. Is this a known problem? Was offered a refund or to wait 12 months for a new one. Put some masking tape on the panels at the ends of the tapeto mark the positions.

This year we did the Outback Way (Well lets say Perth to Noosa via the Outback Way) Then up to Lakefield National Park and back to Perth via the Savannah Way, Gibb River Road Derby Broome etc. We walked in, fell in love with the van and wanted to take it then and there as we had traveled from Canberra. No more towing and more sleeping in the 4by. We have just bought extension cord and adaptors but no luck, Unfortunately no practical suggestions other than individually checking switches (on) and fuses (set). . Did anyone here taken the above camper/s on any offroad trip such as the Gibb River Road or similar and came home without any issues? Have checked outside the van for leaks, but no problems. Now with my circumstances sadly changed I am keen to tour country regions in all states of the outback, (I detest city driving) My next step begins with some 4X4 training courses next week. If you are talking about the Avan camper trailer Gerty they are not a lot different, depending on the condition of the van springs etc, it is a straight push up (two sides to it, joined by a bungy cord) but not as easy as a pop top. As Franie says, like the other pop tops the older you get you don't have the same strength as an older person (most) and females in general may be a bit weaker. Why such a miserable 330 payload, which will not be enough when the water tanks are filled, cooking gear and food added, etc., when the suspension is clearly capable of much more? Mike, thank you for your input and advice. This trailer may have the two lower panel gas springs reduced to 50 pounds so a bit of lift is required by the owner. Due to the crushing weight of the new panels, This most recent modification was accomplished by a lady who enjoys such projects. The attached article is on my 2005 Aliner that was desperately needing a simple method of raising the roof panels. My panels raise up to 15" when the latches are released. Then I need to add a minor effort to raise them up to the fully up location. I used 40 pound springs on the first three. Today I would have used 30 pound springs, So no matter what the obstacle you can put a gas spring at each corner. You may just need to find one that has the correct parameters to do the job. Most trailers should need about 30 pound force springs. Just a thought. I will check tonight when it is dark in case I'm measuring a small charging current as opposed to a draining current.Most of the current was on the light weight pair.
