Ostrich Wing 3. In Bad Weather

[@sundancer442]

Good shakedown trip. :)

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

Was a very good shakedown trip. Lots of rain and winds up to 70Kph. Had the canvas man here yesterday measuring all new rain covers and a skirt for the trailer.

Nature is always beautiful but sometimes it's nice to be lookin from the inside to outside lol

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

Agree 100%. Was a great test for the new gear. Now i know what needs to be fixed. I have a canvas guy already working on it

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

That’s an awesome hangout area during the day in wet weather. I got the 30 second awning recently and looks very similar to your awning. They are the goods mate and really easy to setup . The main thing is you are dry . Good idea to get it all right before your Kimberly trip. Should be an awesome trip 👍🍻

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

Right on. Had the canvas man here yesterday with his tape and pen. Hope to have the trailer to him next week to get all the new rain covers and a trailer skirt fitted. Then i will be looking at getting another water tank made for it. We need more water storage for the Kimberley trip

[@TheKiloG69]

Happy to see you or using and testing out all your gear. That was a great test for all your gear.

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

No good buy all the gear if you Just let it sit and collect dust my friend. We lover camping and will be going out as much as we can.

[@closertothetruth9209]

yeh it was some good rain and kinda cool, everything is green out your old stomping patch

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

Yes love a bit of rain. While we were away for the 3 weeks and 2 days we had just over 5 inches of rain here at home

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

The best test of any live in camping gear is lots of rain :) Looks like this setup did pretty well without many changes. With a few alterations is looks like ti will be great. You must have been out about the same time we were, shockingly bad weather.

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

Poured rain like crazy. 2 huge thunderstorms and some high winds up to 70kph. Was a great test of the new gear. Having the alterations made now. Very please with the wings performance.

Hi, I purchased the Ostrich Wing awning a few weeks ago. Was wondering how it handles the rain. Thanks for the video.

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

I think you need to watch this video for updates. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYbQoaWej9mNf68

Thank you mate 😉🍻 Jim's a good man. I hope you enjoy my videos John. Have a large range on off grid Solar and also camping with solar videos.

@@JustinCaseSolarPower I need to set up my van with solar so I will watch and learn. John

@@farminglifeaustralia6716 Try this set of videos John. kzbin.info/aero/PL-bNupHOHGIK5_WtXiUtMZhaEF-UZWkMd . Feel free to ask as many questions as you like. Not such thing as a dumb question my friend.

[@regkershaw]

Have been looking at these and being a big awning just wondering about the wind and the strength of the mounting system

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

holds up very well in windstorms and rain. leaked on a few seems but we soon fixed that with some water proof spray.

[@NormanMcGregor]

This year the weather has been very bad. Pouring Rain, wind, more pouring rain and high wind and it has repeated for 9 months. Hopefully Spring will bring a change!

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

This year is a La Niña year "meaning" ( oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/ninonina.html ) So yes expect the weather to be all over the place. Hot one day cold and rain the next. So now you know you can plan accordingly. For us it worked out great to test the new wing awning and Yesterday i had the canvas man here with his tape and pen working out what we needed for rain covers and skirt for the trailer. Hope to have him start work mid next week.

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

@@NormanMcGregor Fake or real who knows. Gave us a good chance to fix the house and has given us some very quiet relaxing campsites. I must say i am enjoying it so fare.

[@cowboy898]

My friend I thought you all were under lockdown?

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

We have no virus in Western Australia been able to travel around the state as we please. Problem come when you want to go interstate or overseas.
