Caravan spares

daz (SA)

I purchased a new van five months ago and this is the second van from this particular manufacture (Cre#tive) made in Victoria that I have owned both brought as new vans and no jack or any thing else .So it was a case of hold my breath and hope no puncture till the required items were purchased

I got nothing from Windsor either.

Just use the jack and tools from the Pajero.

Cheers.

Interesting....the past four vans from 3 different manufacturers all had jacks and nut spanner...I would have thought that this was standard fare.
BW.....

There is no standard and no legal requirement to provide a jack or even a spare wheel.

So it will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and dealer to dealer.

$300 for a jack........HELL......that must have been some funky jack.

That sort of money will buy you a pretty good garrage quality trolly jack.

cheers

Our van came with brace to get wheels off. We did negotiate when ordering, for a jack to be supplied. Found it excellent tools as we use it instead of a jockey wheel and its also very handy to use for leveling the van on set up.

WE got our new Sunland Patriot this year and it came with a jack, wheel brace spanner, white water hose for mains connection, black pipes for waste water distribution etc. Basically everything needed to head off on a trip. I never actually thought about asking about a jack either...but it was all there neatly packed in the front boot.

In every van we have purchased there has been a jack and a wheel brace.

So yes I think they should be standard however there is no compulsion or law to do so.

Ours came with a 4 ton hydraulic bottle jack kit, 4 x wheel brace, long handled brace for the Alko legs, HD sullage hose, 2 wheel chocks and a water hose. No power cable. Fair enough.... had to buy another sullage hose (van has two outlets - huh?), extra water hose (some taps are not close enough), ramp wheel chocks, the power cable and so much other handy stuff that I can hardly get the front boot closed !

Hi Had 2 new Coromal vans the first I found after a lap that the wheel brace didn't fit the nuts ,my Perth dealer was willing to change the brace except the local agent wasn,t,t but a $10 socket sorted the probelm.When I order and accepted the new van I made sure the brace fitted.

It would have been nice if members had stated which vans they bought had jacks and wheel braces and which did not. It would be nice to know who were the mean suppliers.

When I got my Regent ('94) it came with a spare wheel and an adaptor to connect between your wheel brace and the 5 sided Dunlop nuts. Neither of my later Spaceland vans had jacks or braces.

The only requirement with the supply of jacks is they must meet the AS/NZS relevant standards if one is supplied. I started vanning when a spare wheel was something that had to be ordered separately. I have just carried my equipment from one van to the next so I don't want extra junk arriving with the van.

G'day All,
We are on our third van,
First, a Coromal No tools )
Second, a Concept No tools ) except for leg brace
Third, a Lotus Trooper No tools )

Cheers

Mine is a Coromal (Circa 2004) and came new with a hydraulic jack, the adaptor to the nuts and the relevant size socket and a brace with an extension handle plus screw drivers etc in the bag when delivered.
