G'day Malcolm. very effective at the water heating for shower and the space heater. Remember the water goes into a tank for recirculating through the space heater. It is a box heat exchanger just like an old Holden or Falcon one where air and water pass separate channels

Hi Karen & Malcolm
Ditto to Johns comments.

The Hot Water Air heater worked a treat on our first night in the KK.
Have only had our KK for 2 weeks and therefore cannot comment on any ongoing maintenance or servicing issues.
Cheers

I know a bit off topic but how does the Prado tow the KK van ?? Do you know the "wet" weight of the van ie; packed and ready to roll ??

Hi Gronk
Can't accurately answer on the towing at the moment as we have had so much bad weather for the last 2 weekends. It handled really well when we picked it up however that was unloaded and only doing 60kmh speed limits.

I "guess" the wet weight will be getting close to 2 tonne by the time we have extras such as generator, spare fuel, water etc loaded.

Hoping to do a shakedown with the KK this weekend up to Gloucester region which is about 2.5 hours drive each way.
Should know a heap after that.

Hi Gronk
Lake Macquarie to be exact ;-)
I know another guy from the Central Coast that picked up a new KKamper last week.
Weather forecasts not looking good for the weekend.
Dam'n, I'm itching to do a short trip.
