[@reddustadventures]

Looks bloody awesome guys. We love the fact that we get to share the whole build with you guys. We are learning heaps. Can’t wait to see how it all works as you keep travelling. Whether you change anything or not. Looks like lots of thought has gone into it so you might of nailed it the first time 👌 Great vid once again Legends Cheers Brad & Fi ❤️👌

[@daveniksadventures2255]

Thanks guys , have had a few now so hopefully all the others have helped us get this one right. I would of liked a bigger freezer but hey can't have everything. Loving being back in the Pilbara, even though we brought the rain with us 😆 🤣 Thanks for watching and supporting our channel 😀 Cheers Dave and Nik 🍻👍🇦🇺🍩

[@mjcm1963]

Great video. Well done on the installation of the battery system. Looking forward to seeing your next adventure.

[@daveniksadventures2255]

Stay tuned on Friday this week at 2pm WA time as we head north to the Pilbara. Thanks for watching and supporting our channel. 😀 Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩

Great stuff Dave. U have done an absolutely fantastic job fitting out the canopy It looks great. 👍 Nik is gorgeous as she is !

[@daveniksadventures2255]

Thank you it was a mission in the rain but we got there. Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩

[@StephenFogarty2023]

@@daveniksadventures2255 Just watching your next video I’m catching up… It’s great to c the road side rest stops full with other people People touring around. 👍 I also can’t stand people who leave their rubbish behind ! Indee has a harness when in the vehicle. 👍 I notice that u drive around with windows down Any booming or echo or reverberation sound that then is annoying ? What about those slimline type of weather shields mounted above the windows ? The fuel economy is excellent As the saying goes, don’t tow a weight above your vehicle, and then U r much more stable and sure footed etc How many kms on the Ram ? Any issues or squeaks / rattles etc Walkinshaw have a good reputation, but interested in feedback Maybe a future video on the vehicle regarding this type of stuff. The issues with Ford using an external company to convert F150 has been a nightmare ! So many problems and recalls ! Walkinshaw do Ram / Chev and the Toyota Tundra will go on sale to public by early 2025… Love the content. 👍

[@StephenFogarty2023]

Walkinshaw do a full / OEM LHD to RHD remanufacturing process… Factory backed etc Not a cheap n nasty steering wheel swap…

[@StephenFogarty2023]

“ I bent the Ram ! “ And the next 2 videos 2 catch up on.. 👍

[@daveniksadventures2255]

@StephenFogarty2023 no you would be hard pressed to see that it was a left hand drive. Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩

Great job DNA, the rig is coming up a treat . I've always been too scared to take on 12V wiring. Well played.

[@daveniksadventures2255]

Yes I have played with it most of my life putting in car stereos etc so just take your time and think it through. I've left the central locking etc to the experts though. 😆🤣😂 Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩

[@jorobson1]

Have you had a chance to put it over the scales yet? It will be interesting to see how the rig weighs up! We rolled our chev 2500 and van over the public weighbridge in Port Hedland. A interesting exercise 😉

[@daveniksadventures2255]

Not yet but when we can I will just out of interest more than anything. Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩

Yes correct not every set-up suits everyone. And if you do it yourself you do get great satisfaction on your achievement. Wow 6 years you must of seen a lot. Great that you are now working on what suits you for your needs and the way you want to travel. Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩

[@daveniksadventures2255]

[@jorobson1]

Our rig came up heavier than I thought but we are still carrying a fair of nice to have stuff in the back. Saying that you don't really feel the extra weight, the HD trucks just get on with the job as per their design spec👍.

[@daveniksadventures2255]

Yes I agree they seem to ride better with the weight. So have you had a gvm upgrade or canopy on your HD ? We are thinking of a lift and front bar but our 3500 has a gvm of 5.350t from factory. What did you end up weighting? Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩

[@youlross6544]

[@TaylorsOnTour067]

Awesome job ! 🎉 just some hints with the fridge, the freezer door .....get into habit of closing it ! Id forget n shut door n stabbed hole in door seal ! Also the shelves will move forward in transit and stuff falls behind , i put fridge bars in front of them to stop this ! Congrats again n cant wait for you to get back on road !

[@daveniksadventures2255]

Our fridge doesn't have the magnet in the top to hold the freezer door open so that won't be a problem. And I have seen a hack if you bend the arms on the shelves out more they don't move. So I have done that and all good for now. Thanks for the heads up I will keep it in mind. Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩

Awesome guys love your set up finally got our ram back this week it goes in for mw tray and canopy set up next Friday really looking forward to it. 👍👍👍

Awesome guys, out of interest does the around view camera system still all line up with the new location of the camera on the canopy. Cheers👌

[@daveniksadventures2255]

Yes everything still works the do put all the sensors back and shift the camera to the canopy so you can still see the towbar. The only one you do lose is the camera that's in the brake light. It still works but you only see the canopy instead of what's in the tub. Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩

Looking at your wires all negative need to go to the shunt looks like have a extra cable going to the other negative so will throw out the shunt also should have a fuse just before the battery from the car and one on the solar panels coming down with a fuse

[@daveniksadventures2255]

Thanks for watching and supporting our channel. There is an 80amp fuse from the main wire coming in from the car. All the negative wires do run to the shunt the main negative for the inverter runs off through one post through the shunt and the main shunt wire is the other wire you are seeing. There is a 60amp fuse for the main power box and it is also fused separately internal for all its power feeds. The fridge has a in line fuse to it as well. The solar panel is fused too it was raining as I put that up there and I didn't show it because it was about to pour down. Cheers Dave and Nik 👍🍻🇦🇺🍩
