Hi newbies here Peter & Jennifer.
Having been around the
BOG since 2002 there is not much I have not read & tried to comprehend, there are so many fantastic posts with brilliant information for people who want the best caravan that is made. Yes it is, we have been to the factory's twice now, what a wonderful bunch of people, could'nt be more helpful .
Three
BOG members still stand out, to Collyn, Anthony, & Steve, many many thanks for your imput, there are lots of other
Bog members that I should thank, but as we leave next week to head up to BTI to collect our own BT20 I expect we will meet some of you, maybe at Copeton 2005.
I have not found it hard to distingush between genuine & not so genuine posts.So consequently fully support the second last post.
Yes the Brakelock - Well - Maybe I am wrong or maybe I am right, as I said above we are nearly on the way so I can not wait to get the final answer, so in the meantime just be careful, In all fairness I will post it when I can.
Having read that a new F250 had been stolen a few months back, I decided that some extra security was in order, & having read Caravan & Motorhome No44 I decided on a Brakelock, a very good concept- especially for auto's, where you have to put your foot on the brake in order to get it out of park, & presto for the thief who goes nowhere, & I have no doubt that they work. But as there is no Australian standard that I am aware of, I made inquiries with our Tassie Transport Division, who informed me that it (APPEARS THAT THE DEVICE DOES NOT COMPLY WITH AUSTRALIAN DESIGN RULE (ADR)35/01,CLAUSE 5.1.6.) & therefore my vehicle if one is fitted is NON-ROADWORTHY.
A bit scarry because if non-roadworthy, most likely - no insurance?
So I got back to my supplier, who has offered to refund my money, so that's ok, but also supplied me with some more info, which I have resubmitted to our State Transport Division, from whom I am waiting for a definative answer.
Has anyone found that these days it is very hard to get a answer that is either yes or no, not some mumbo jumbo?
