Some days the wheels just fall off, then you loose power and finally we bid a sad goodbye to our long term travel buddy. Join for this special episode.
Really sorry to hear about Shadow. Our condolences. We had the privilege of meeting him and his owners in Beechwoth. I'm sure you and Anne gave him the best life he could have had, and I'm equally sure he played his part in being a trusty loyal companion, guarding the fort against all invaders. As an aside, since your last video, I've fitted handles to the gas vent lids (great idea) and installed a new gas detector just like the one you suggested. I'm now going out to pack my power point tester. Not an item on my carry list until now. With regard to wheel nuts, I've completely removed my wheel hub trims and left them at home. I check wheel nuts regularly and those wheel hub trims are just a nuisance. I've found a looser wheel nut on a couple of occasions, never to the point of concern, but I'm still glad I check them regularly. Another really informative video. Thanks Graham.
Thanks Tom & Anne, someone mentioned that Shadow had probably seen more of Australia than many Aussies get to experience , he certainly had a good life and was a big part of our family in the Zone, so hard to move on, but we have great memories. Great your improving your Zone, anything that makes life easier on the road makes for a much more enjoyable journey. Kind regards from Graham & Ann ZB171
Hi Graham & Ann, so sorry to hear of your loss. Shadow was not only your great mate, but also a star in his own right. I have no doubt you gave him an amazing 14 years of love and memories. Hopefully we see you guys again one day in the future. Kindest regards Gary & Tanya
Hey guys, thanks so much, we really miss our little travel buddy, more than we thought we would. We have lots of great memories and have appreciated so many people reaching out to us. As a friend pointed out, Shadow had seen more of Australia in his 14 years than many Aussie’s do in their lifetime. I’m sure we will catch up with you some where down the track. Cheers Graham & Ann
Graham, thanks so much for your very informative videos. We’ve recently purchased a 2nd hand Base 17 and your content along with Next Level Oz & The Lifestyle Pioneers have helped us understand our van and it’s built in equipment have been brilliant. So sad to hear about Shadow Abby & Dougal
Welcome to the Zone Club, appreciate your comments, we were the same when we we’re purchasing our Zone, always searching for information. So now we are glad to give back. Might see you out there one day.. Regards Graham &Ann ZB171
Great information, especially the tension for the wheel nuts. So sorry to hear about Shadow. It was lovely to meet him, and you, at the Zone muster last year. Safe travels.
G'day Graham, sorry to hear about your best mate Shadow. When torquing the wheel nuts the 120nm should be unlubricated studs, any lube on the stud, the actual torque can be 15- 20 % higher than the set 120nm. I always carry spare studs of the correct grade and nuts. Safe travels
@grahambelby9117 I purchased my spare studs & nuts from Nice Products. They stock Grade 8, 10.9,12.9 with various knurled diameters and spline pitches. Really, having spare studs are essential, especially when travelling in insolated areas. Ian
Thanks for the video. So sorry to hear about Shadow, it was great to meet you and Shadow in Maleny last April. Take care and look forward to more episodes.
Fyi using a socket extension affects your torque figure. Why dont you use a shorter extension bar? Sorry to hear you lost your mate. 😢 Thanks for sharing
The main problem, is you take that oversize septic tank on public highways and don't have the decency to get off the damn road, instead you sit in la la land doing 90 odd holding everyone up for hours on end. Solution - donate said septic tank to a church to assist with the homeless, and may it never be on a public road ever again.
RIP Shadow. Gotta love those Cavvys.
Thanks, and we still miss him sooo much.
Love these vids, straight to the point, no fluffing around. What a shame to lose the assistant co pilot 😢
Thanks for your comments, and yes we are quite sad to loose our little travel buddy.

The typical reason for burnt plugs and sockets, is people unplugging without turning off the supply first.
Thanks for watching

Yes, has been a big loss in our lives.
Sorry for the loss of shadow.
Thank you
Just wondering what were the zone problems that you state, or was that just click bait, thinking of getting a zone
This was the third episode in a series, showing problems and the solutions, mostly which I have experienced in our Zone RV. Thanks for watching..
@@grahambelby9117 no problems Graham, I'll check your previous vids, cheers mate
Sorry to hear about shadow mate if anything good comes from it everyone with a dog in a zone caravan will be changing their gas sensor
Thanks so much, really appreciate everyone’s kind thoughts.

You sound like a mate of John Cadogan’s. 😔
You are an absolute f- wit, or truck driver, same thing, go get your boyfriend to give you a heady
Jimmy, you poor excuse for a human
