24.01.2022 Advice for today. Do not let an unskilled person fit a wheel to your van. Replacing a wheel on a car is something a child can do, but unlike a cars running gear, vans are a mix match of incomparable parts thrown together to form a rolling chassis. Crap you may well say! Then consider this. ... Most off road, semi off road and some touring vans carry the same mechanical defect. The internal diameter of the rim varies from the external diameter of the hub placing incredible stress on the 5, 6 or in the cases depending on band the 8 wheel studs. No wonder Queensland Transport require a caravan service person to hold a specific TAFE competancy to change a caravan wheel. In the case below the ID for the rim locater is 111mm while the OD of the hub is a mere 96mm. Its a recipe for disaster.

17.01.2022 Go-ahead finally issued for recall of deadly RV gas water heaters Gas water heater... Have your say AN official recall of suspected deadly gas water heaters fitted to many caravans and other RVs has been given the go-ahead, it was revealed today. "While this is certainly welcome news there are still a few outstanding matters that we are working through before we can begin to have water heaters inspected," distributors Suburban and Coast to Coast says in a message to consumers. Many owners have expressed frustration at having to wait so long for a resolution after last years announcement that some gas hot water heaters could be deadly. But Suburban has now been given approval by the Gas Technical Regulators Committee and the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission to "progress to recall". However, delivery of special equipment from the US necessary for testing has been delayed by the COVID-19 crisis. Without this equipment, gasfitters will be unable to complete the inspection required. "Were expecting this equipment to arrive in approximately two weeks at which point the recall process will begin," Suburban and Coast to Coast said. "When this equipment arrives and the recall begins, consumers will be directed to a dedicated registration page on our website to register their water heater and complete an online form. "This information will be used to provide you with a work order and a list of authorised recall service agents. "You will then be able to contact your preferred service agent and book an appointment for your water heater to be inspected." An urgent warning by Suburban last year revealed that some its gas hot water heaters could generate elevated carbon monoxide which in some instances could spill into caravans and other RVs. "Carbon monoxide can be lethal in large concentrations," it said. Models affected were SW6DEA, SW6DA, SW4DEA, SW4DA and the dual fuel SW6PS.
