We have a 2007 ATV 2 - chassis cracks have appeared. These vans are touted as 'strength of the north' as we have put an extreme amount of our hard earned into this van (I’m not a man with wads to throw around), actually spending above budget to get what we expected to be an upgrade and the unit was to allow us to road trip away for next 2 years as this is our 4th off-road van in 12 years (first Kedron) a 16ft, 18ft and 19ft, this one is 21ft. Today I took it to my engineering shop (they build truck beds and articulated trailers), I was pointed out many points where the chassis had cracks and, potential points of failure! I am NOT taking this van into the bush!

Ok so I did not choose wisely, lesson learnt. I am told that this issues is due to the stiffness of the rear springs and suspension of my vehicle (by Kedron) - I am also advised that now the chassis is modified to the strengthen these same points of failure.

Kedron did offer to fix my issues but it would cost me to return the Van to them some 3900K's round trip.

I have the repairs done near home - they found lateral cracks in the a frame working all the way around from underside, perhaps have a close inspection when looking at older Kedron’s? repairs and upgrade work cost me $2870.
