Hi Jon,
Got a bit homesick reading about the Wombat State Forest - as an ex-Victorian.
It is not like the High Country, however there are some steep tracks and in the wet weather it can be quite a challenge.
Maps are a must and the GPS tells you if you are going in the right direction.
Cheers,
Theo

Thanks Hart. Yes, Trakka missed a trick there. As you rightly point out there is no way to have the cabin heater on, and not also heat the aux water tank at the same time.
The problem I have is that I can’t turn the heater on without the window steaming up and that familiar sticky sweet smell of coolant. So I leave it off for now. Working up the energy and time in the schedule to pull out the dash. The blower motor needs attention as well.
The trip out in the cold and wet did confirm that diff locks and 4wd are working though. Especially when we became locationally challenged in the Wombat State Forest fire / mud trails (or lost as the co-pilot / better half announced) with kids asleep in the back. Never trust Google Maps! Since invested in some decent paper maps for the van.
Jon.

Hi Jon, just a though, if in cold weather you are heating the water in the port water tank, there will be no heating in the cabin. I,m sure that you have worked that one out, it took me by surprise when going down south to meet up with Ken on a very cold winters morning the heating would not work . Can,t remember what i did to get warm...

I took the van out the other weekend in the Macedon Ranges. I think it was in shock after spending its early life in NSW and some time in QLD. Even the boot struts (replaced not so long ago) refused to operate in the cold weather. An inoperable heater didn’t help either.
Roll on spring!
