Hi guys. Great vid. Want to do the same to my van. Did you have to change out the stabiliser legs to longer ones
@TheBeatenTrak
@TheBeatenTrak 4 күн бұрын
Thanks mate. No the stabiliser legs didn't need changing. I think if he's parked on a bit of a slope and they don't quite reach the ground he just uses a block underneath.

I notice that you are using a Santa Fe to tow. Us too with a small caravan. Would you not recommend going to this camp with a Santa Fe? Have you made any modifications to the vehicle?
@TheBeatenTrak
@TheBeatenTrak 4 күн бұрын
Yeah going to that spot with the Santa Fe wasn't ideal. I needed help getting getting out as it was super steep and my Santa Fe kept loosing traction and couldn't pull the weight up the steep rocky road.

Hey mate great tidy setup,, like you thinking about the shorter drawers as well, my question is about your awning, I m looking at a 270 as well, but they are very long and I have been told not to mount across the tub and body as they are mounted independently it could damage the awning., have you had any trouble with yours twisting or flexing?

Hey mate, it’s just four screws on the front of the switch panel that give you access to the internals. Run the cable in and just connect it into one of the available switches. It’s pretty simple to do, you shouldn’t have any issues 👌🏻

..thanks for sharing...I'm just a newbie and starting to build my minimalist rig, I can see that you dont have a power station, instead you have the extra battery charged by the dc-dc charger and solar to power the fridge and the lights, is it enough for a few days camping?
@TheBeatenTrak
@TheBeatenTrak 3 ай бұрын
Hey mate thanks for the question. Set up like this I have plenty of power to run my fridge, camp lights, recharge phones, camera batteries and camp for as long as I like. If you wanted to install an inverter to run an induction cooker or small coffee machine for example then you would probably need some bigger batteries I'd imagine. I've done many camp trips in this set up now and I've never struggled for power. Have fun building your rig out!

G’day mate The small bolt that came with the awning is the one you use to attach the bracket to the roof bar. Take the rubber out of the bar. Slide the bolt head upside down into the groove where the rubber was with the threads pointing to the sky. That’s why that small bolt has a funny shaped head. It slides into the groove where the rubber is in the bar Place the cutout in the bracket on top of the upside down bolt and tighten down with a nut. The cutout is elongated so you can slide it around to get the best position. Replace the rubber if you want to by cutting it into sections to fill in the gaps No need to drill anything. Hope this helps

Hey Davo, really sorry for the slow reply. Yeah the Santa Fe I had in this video was the 2.2 CRDi and I did try to drive up the steep section but it was too steep and my wheels kept spinning. One thing I probably could have tried was to drop the tyre pressure a little but I reckon it still would have been a battle. The old Santa Fe definitely wasn't cut out for it. Thanks to the rangers that saved me!
