Hello, i have owned a Kedron, one of the first, bought s/h, single axel, i loved it because i could walk around in there with the roof down, they are quite heavy empty, then put all your stuff in and you are looking around 2 tons, tires on
mine were only rated at 900kg so i put 265 75 16 on it, spare almost exploded in my face it was so bad, let it down quick smart, but it only had little brakes, not 10 inch,
kitchen was at the back, flicked everything outa the cuboards, so go for front kitchen, they did have a used one at Kedron not long ago, single axles are cheaper to tow,
mine was 17'6, you need anti sway bars, a must,
My chassis cracked on the cross members, being a coach builder who did his trade behind Kedron when they were a tin shed almost 50 years ago, the cracks were stress relieveing , not fatigure like the joker who did the rwc when i sold it,
Wireing, just big enough to do the job, lights flickered when i used the
water pump, upgraded to heavy cable, problem solved,
Fridge, 3 way, absolutly bloody useless, took it to repairman, told it wasnt for aust, threw it awa and put 12 volter in, brilliant, use buggar all power,
except for stopping, yeah, loved it, it had stress cracks in paneling but
hay, these things are built to the dollar
i have seen a new bushtracker stranded on
cape york with broken
suspension, so nothing is bullet proof
all boils down what suits you, i used to deliver componets to chesney, how the wheel bearings didnt seize up on them all beats me as they didnt get much grease, something you all should do is check the wheel bearings for grease, and those off road tow couplings, they break off, ask my friend who got stranded out whop whop,
Rob
