Does the dust hatch in roof work. There is no filter. Any body sealed the internal fridge vents above and below fridge. Seems external vents should provide enough air?

Any known problems off road with this model?
5 answers
Hi MLO, we have had our DR extreme now for six months & taken it off road and have had no problems. Steve
Thanks Steve, we live in the Kimberley and dirt roads are par for the course, the places we would be visiting are only accessible via the dirt, so that is good to know.
It's like everything else, nice and steady and things work out okay.

Mark, yes I was told that about just taking it a bit slower and you can get through most situations in the bush. We havent done any real hard places yet just fairly easy off road but we are heading up your way in March April next year and continuing across the top to Qld. Should be a great trip. I bought a caravan cover last week as I dont have an undercover area and wanted to protect our bight orange JB stickers & paint, lol. Take care & we might cross paths up north.

We’re looking at a 20’ family scorpion. Seems wee set up but wondering whether to spend the extra to go the Scorpion Sting? Has anyone found anything in the base model underdone? Diff seems primarily the electrical capacity.

Hi Simon, we bought the Semi Off road, Dirtroader. We have the smaller inverter and find the solar panel & generator do the job for off road for us but ours doesn’t have all the Sting feature. We liked the Sting but just weren’t going full off road. Steve
Thanks very much Steve

Hi all
Would appreciate some good honest advice
Have been looking at a Kedron CP5 Compact and have just heard about a JB Gator X 2022 model.
The Gator X has air bag suspension, 2000 watt inverter and all the bells and whistles
The Gator is about $20K cheaper but is timber frame and plywood floor covered by aluminium panel. The Gator X seems ok???? Their website is pretty crappy so hard to see them
Any thoughts on reliability and if the Gator will hold up to some off road
Cheers John

I ended up buying a gator x tho from a dealer in heatherbrae
The hand over was really bad so just working things out for myself
Hi John, How are you finding your Gator X van, I'm looking at one of these vans as well, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mike

What generator suits a JB gator. I believe a Honda 2 kva will fit in the box but looking at the specs they are 25 mm too high.

How do you turn off the light over the shower and how do you turn off the radio so it doesn’t glow all night?
2 answers
Touch the centre of the light. It increases the brightness then turns off each time it is touched
Thank you Tony. We tried that. Turns out there is a fault with the light. Would love to hear from someone about turning off the radio. We have pushed the button that is mentioned in the brochure, but we have not had any success with that either.
