[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 610232, member: 1414"] Condor22, Like you we have a 3way in our van and after initial problems we now have it sorted. Like yours the fridge is on drivers side and batteries on passenger. Our van is tandem axle and use load levelers. We have 80l water tanks forward and aft of the axles. We travel with the forward tank empty and approx 30litres in the aft tank to distribute weights. We usually travel 1000k on the bitumen @ 100KMP, the last town usually Leonora we fill both water tanks in van and the two inbuilt 60l tanks under ute and an 80 litre on the back of the ute before travelling the last 70kms to destination. After purchasing the van back in 2008 (5.5M Trailstar-Aquila fitted with shock absorber on each wheel) I made up a device for checking drawbar weight when loaded. (All good) Ran heavy wiring + fuse from auxiliary battery to rear of ute + Anderson Plug then Anderson plug and wiring + fuse to the van batteries. (The original wiring did not keep up the charge to the van batteries during the heavy drainage from the fridge running on 12V while travelling.) All good. Touch wood we have covered approx 50,000kms with out any drama other than tyre blow out on the van. (Fortunately was only travelling at low speed so the "wobbles" didn't cause too much drama. Have an 80L + 39L Engels + 3kva Honda generator the back of ute which allows us about one month food storage while camping remote/off the grid. [/QUOTE]
