We have 180litre (150+30) onboard water capacity in the Patrol for two of us. We don't have to fill it, but as water is always the main limiting factor as to how long it's possible to stay away from 'civilisation' it gives greater options. (Our bus has much the same water capacity & we can make it last for two weeks).

Pumped up the tyres, cleaned the windscreen and checked the fluids. Camping trip tomorrow pending the rain staying to a minimal.

Meh! I'd just fill it with beer. Then the fun times would begin.
As for me I just fitted new barn door seals on the wagon. All fitted except for the pinchweld seal I got, they kinda forgot to put the actual seal onto the pinchweld. 6hunge later for all for seals thank you very much!!!
Gotta do the RHS front door seals too next....

Fitted a Provent catch can. Used 5/16" heater hose, (CH1300 MacKay), flared at one end so it fits the can, negating the need for reducing joiners etc.

Keep an eye on the heater hose mate oil vapor will make it swell and really soft, you might need to go to pirtex and get some oil resistant hose!!

How about some pics of your setup? Do you mean you have water tanks on the roof as well as the tent?

Hey cuppa... sorry took a while... here are the pics of my water setup...... 2x50 litres on the roof both with individual ball valves and one on the main hose..
the next is the one behind the drivers seat wich goes to the pump which is fixed under the passenger seat and that runs the water to the heat exchange in the bullbar wich has terminals on the bullbar.. my longer trips i have the 100 litre flexi tank which sits on the water tank in the back(no pics of that as i havent had to need that this weekend!!

Cheers mate, yeah realise heater hose isn't the best but the local Pirtek had nothing to do the job with. For $25 I'm happy to keep an eye on the hoses and change them every couple of years or so.

On my toy i use oil pressure hose 600psi stuff but i have also used power steering return hose and transmission cooler line on my other cars. Bursons, Repco, super cheap and autobahn should stock it and its made for oil so you cant go wrong mate
