Hi sounds good would love to hear all about the site and learn alot more about geist vans etc  this end there are not alot of owners at the moment  but I think there would be alot more if we had some sort of dedicated forum where they could all get in touch with one another we started a little canter here for a short while as you have probably seen but we havent heard any thing from geist as of yet but if we could raise some sort of site I think they and others would probably find us and hopefully all carry on from there ! would love to here more about your trip down under sounds really interesting  cheers Jeff

I have just set up a UK version of Geist on the Aussie site for all UK owners to chat. I have acknowledged all owners on each continent that I know of. Feel free to ask the questions on the forum to learn more about your Geist. Some of our Aussie owners may be able to help too! There is very little difference between the vans in the UK to Australia.

Here is the link.

Is it just my computer or is any one else having security messages when they try to look on the www.geistforlife.com web site. Both IE7 and Firefox are telling me visiting this site might harm my computer.

Hopefully you should receive one soon. If not then let me know, you are showing as being joined, you should have got something by now. Did it go in your junk box?

We have an Aktiv 495 that has a digital aerial connection on the main board but where does it feed to ? as there is no other outlet for it, i would have expected an outlet somewhere i.e. in the battery box or at the side of the van but nothing?

Where does it go?

Anyone know

Andy

Andy we have two aerial sockets one is labelled TV and that goes to the status, the other is labelled something else possibly sat and on our van was not connected - I think it was for the German market, we have had an external socket added to our caravan and ours now goes to this.

asdj45 - I would also like to know the answer to your question!

In the meantime, maybe you can answer a mystery for me?? The top fixed bunk - underneath it there are two curious white clips - they look identical to the clips in the front gas locker that hold the corner steady winder in place. Do you have any idea why they are there? I have been pondering this for 2 months!! Am I being dumb?!

Have you tried asking on the Gesit FBook pages? or you could ask Geist?

Hi Jennifer

did you buy your Geist new or used? I've just bought a second hand one and the previous owners have added all sorts of clips, holders and hooks. Do those clips look as though they are part of the original fittings?

If so, I shall go and ask!

best wishes

Claire Mitchell

Hi Claire,

We bought our 'van new but from Elite so it is actually a 2007 build but brand new. The clips are definitely factory fitted, but I cannot see any practical reason for them being there.

Jenny.

Hi all - not sure about the bed clips as our van is in storage and not going to see her for a couple of weeks. 17. I am guessing but are they to clip a curtain rail into, or to clip a support of some description when you lift up the bottom bunk?

I know some bunks have curtains around so my first guess might be more near the mark - but dont know really - now you have set me a challenge!!!!17

Regards

Andy

I will get one of the 495 owners on the Australian Geist forum to see if he can answer this one for you. Hang on a bit.

Catch you on the track.
