Thanks Tony. I found a 2nd hand lock mech. The door is not shutting again. When I closed it the first time it happened it was like there was the seatbelt caught in the door stopping it from closing, but when I looked there was nothing in the way. The lock mech won’t even catch if I try to lock...

Hi all. Encountered a problem with the drivers door on my D22 yesterday. The door lock wasn’t working and the door would just bounce open when I tried to shut it. I pulled the trim off the door and mucked around with the lock inside and got the mechanism to catch again. The problem now is that...

I probably wouldn't use the add a fuse as your power source for your relay either. If your add a fuse is only rated at 10 amps and you need to use 30 amps to power all your equipment the 10 amp fuse will continually blow. It could also affect the circuit you are tapping into as well (e.g. Power...

+1 for what bods said regarding the relay. The higher the amp rating of the relay the more current you can run through it without having problems. You should work out what your max current draw will be and make sure you get a relay big enough to handle it. Make sure any power supply cable taken...

A relay has numbers allocated to each pin, usually as follows: 30 - Power In, power from the battery 85 - Earth, connected to chassis or battery 86 - Switch, connected to the wire used to swith the relay on (eg cig power, acc wire) 87 - Power Out, will supply power when swith is activated 87a -...

Hi Christos. In my thread I used a relay that was switched on via power from the cig lighter therefore, the power to the USB's etc. doesn't add onto the cig lighter circuit. When there is no power to the cig lighter, the relay cuts power to the USB's so there is no chance of the battery...

I changed the batteries in my 2009 D22 last year as I could notice that it was getting harder to start. Put in 2 x Optima Yellow Top D34 (750 CCA, 55AH). The only drama with fitment was moving the earth on the passenger side of the vehicle because the yellow top d34's aren't available in...

Sounds like it's nothing to worry about. I will get a vent into the top of the box. Thanks for the info Old.Tony.

I have had an auxiliary battery in the tub of my D22 for the last 2 years or so. It is a Century 100ah deep cycle lead acid battery (not AGM). I intend on changing the battery to AGM when this one fails but don't know when that will be. This aux battery is being charged by a Ctek D250s Dual...

Hi all, Found this solar power usage calculator that can assist with determining what power solar panels and batteries you need to run your 12v gear. http://www.campertrailers.org/solar_spreadsheet.htm

I had 265/75/16 Mickey Thompson ATZ 4 Ribs fitted to my 09 D22 after the original Bridgestones were clapped out after around 30,000 km. At the time I didn't have a lift kit installed and never had any issues with tyres rubbing inside the guards. Before the bigger tyres were fitted my speedo...

Hi all. I got hold of a Ctek MXS 10 battery charger a while back. It comes with a set of alligator clips and a set of 8mm (I think) ring connectors that can be attached directly to your battery. The charger also has a number of different outputs which you select with the mode button on the front...

This is the canopy after it was painted and the rails were put on. It's all wired in with the rear demister, central locking, brake light and interior light all connected with the supplied wiring loom. Might just look at getting a better roof rack instead of the rails.

Pulled the door panel off and found a screw on one of the rods was loose (actuator rod, I think because when I moved it all the doors locked and unlocked). Tightened it up, but it didn't have enough travel so loosened it up again and moved it as far up as it would go and then retightened it...

Cheers. I'll give it a crack on my next days off.

On the drivers side door you can hear the actuator work, but the door may not lock. The passenger door on the same side cannot be heard at all. Both will lock when the key is used and you can hear both actuators.

Hi all, Having a few issues with my central locking. When I activate the remote to lock it, the rear drivers side door won't lock and occasionally the drivers door won't either . When I unlock it with the remote, they all unlock. When I lock it and unlock it with the key, all doors lock and...

I just picked up a "factory second" SMM V2 canopy. They are made from steel the same way car panels are made, this is the link http://sammitr.com.au/ . On a few of the dealer websites I have seen, there are pictures of two grown men standing on the roof of one with a 44 gallon drum between...

Took it back to OL yesterday. They had another crack at it and the result is attached. They said that they have been trained to leave the anchor brackets sticking out a bit to allow for future adjustment and resetting. Just realised the picture is s$&thouse. It is sitting below the crossmember...

Just when I thought I had this all sorted....the compressor died. My Dad got me an Ironman Flo Pro Max for my birthday and I thought I could use it to replace the POS compressor from Ebay. Unfortunately the new compressor was a lot bigger than the old one and wouldn't fit into the box with the...
