Tanami Review

Here we tell you what issues and modifications we have had and made over the last 12 months

[@badge4au]

I like the idea of using all those hooks and clips. It'd make things so much easier. And I'm glad you are happy with your Tanami. We only have the X11 so a lot less room inside. But we go for the outdoors anyway so happy with what we got. And that privacy sheet is way better than the one we put together. As for the TV antenna on ours, it'd make a good paper weight. Great work guys. Happy travels.

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Thanks, enjoy your x11

[@discoveringwa2204]

Great review. Love the mod to the jockey wheel. Simple, but well thought of.

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Thanks

[@peterc1171]

Very honest and informative review. Thanks guys great job 👏

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Thank you

[@michaelnewell1]

Just ordered the Tanami X15NB. I am enjoying the videos. Delivery date is December (our choice). That’s when I will have a few weeks to play with it.

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Nice, that time will fly by.

[@Johnnywraphood]

great review mate. i was looking at one of these but it would of been too heavy for my patrol to tow. thanks for the video mate loved it.

[@tessa4883]

Do you happen know the maximum weight a patrol can tow? What kind of caravan or trailer or you looking at for the patrol?

[@Johnnywraphood]

@@tessa4883 hey Susan the patrol is rated for 3t. I wanted something lighter then 2t. I went with a lifestyle campers iconn. It doesn’t have all the nice things inside like these do. But it’s a light weight off road van which won me over. I do a review of it on my channel if you are interested.

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Thanks

[@annieleibinger4972]

Thats a very helpful video for us as we are waiting for ours in a few weeks! Thanks for sharing and looking forward for your future camping adventures!

thanks for your kind words

[@ozcampnboat-tipstricksgadg9523]

Good review.. very informative!

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Tellyawhat4]

The curtains sold me!

[@scottnuffinadventures]

It definitely adds a pop of colour, thankfully at no extra cost, but the new Tanami's now come with all that standed

[@jeaninecannon5577]

Great video guys. We have an x15 as well and have done many mods to ours. Keep up the great work.

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Thanks for your kind words of support, enjoy your Tanami

[@staceyfaulks9905]

thanks guys! Was very helpful - just looking at the tanami bunk as I type.

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Glad it was helpful!

[@BunyipnAbout]

Gday guys great honest vid 👍, we’re looking at same hybrid also. Most of the ideas and mods you have done weve suggested also.

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Your Welcome

[@singo05able]

Excellent work

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Thanks

[@johnsanderson9886]

Great video, Scott! Very helpful in helping us make up our minds. So many to choose from! You spoke about the silicon around the loo, can you remember the name of the product, please? Keep up the great work! See you on the trail somewhere!

[@johnsanderson9886]

@@scottnuffinadventures Thanks very much for that! We are thinking of buying the Austrack Tanami X 13. Good move, you reckon?

[@andrewpearson8778]

Great video. Love that you got 14 days off grind with it. Can’t wait till ours comes. Have you had any drama with the air con in it at all? Also have you had to do any warranty claims at all. Keep up the great work 👍👍

[@scottnuffinadventures]

The air con has been hit and miss but we think we have finally nailed it with temp set to 22/23 with medium fan speed

[@double-oseven5725]

Appreciated folks!!

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Your welcome

[@ryanferguson3769]

Think we will get one ourselves they look awesome

[@scottnuffinadventures]

At the end of the day we really can't complain it does everything we need it to and everything we want it too, and no matter what you buy they all have there floors

[@heathcuscuna8453]

Great video , we also have one of these . We have had ours for 18 months and as you said only mild problems that were easily fixed. Love it!! Can you please tell me about the incorrectly stamped rims.

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Thanks, yes totally agree with the minor things and you get that with anything you buy. Our rims were stamped with incorrect weights (less then what it should have been), Cheers

[@warrenmurphy539]

Enjoy watching your reviews, did you end up buying a motorised jockey wheel cheers Warren

[@scottnuffinadventures]

We ended up with a Central A-Frame jockey stand

[@rodmclean655]

Thank you can I ask you mentioned the super peg awning .... would they be difficult to fit

[@remoteflyboy]

Hi, I loved your video on your modifications to the van, could you give me some information on those Shock Absorbers please, they sound great. Oh by the way, are they the original springs that came on the van or did you replace the springs as well as the shocks? Thanking you and kind regards, Bob. 👍😀

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Hi Bob yes they are the original springs all I have changed are the shocks to Sachs Max ones which are to suit early model landcruisers. They definitely firmed it up and it tows like a dream. If you would like to know anything else just let me know. Thanks Cory

[@remoteflyboy]

@@scottnuffinadventures Hi Cory, thank you for your fast reply, I really appreciate it, those Shocks certainly are a big improvement on the stock ones that come with the van, thanks again for the information. Look forward to watching more of your videos, take care, Bob. 👍😀

[@remoteflyboy]

Hi Cory, you messaged me a few weeks ago regarding the Sachs max shock absorbers on your Tanami x15, if it’s no trouble are there any serial numbers on the shocks please,thanking you, kind regards, Bob.

[@SNG-tf6ly]

Great video, very informative and helpful. I would be interested in knowing what your ATM is and what towball weight you're running. Thanks in advance.

[@SNG-tf6ly]

@@scottnuffinadventures Excellent, thank you for that. 😁

[@ts50man]

@@SNG-tf6ly Not a problem

[@peterhul1]

Great video, I have the newer one of these and I am really keen to change the shocks out. do you recall the product number of your Sachs shocks that you replaced yours with and would you share it please?

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Hi Peter part number of the shocks I used are 316-395 early model landcruiser from memory.

[@peterhul1]

Thanks for your reply, I'll do some research to see if I can purchase some and let you know how I go.@@scottnuffinadventures

[@beauwakeman3922]

Great video guys! Just wondering how it goes with getting dust inside and the external draws etc?

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Good question! So far with the dirt roads we have travelled none, but we haven't down any continuous all day, day after day dirt roads yet

[@adohoffman]

Great video guys! We have just ordered a Tanami x15B as well! Can’t wait! Just curious what you used for the additional shelving? Did you just go the usual white melamine from Bunnings as used in home kitchens or something lighter?

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Good guess, yes that's exactly what we did

[@casswalton8511]

Can I ask what the products name is that you used to re-seal the toilet?

[@scottnuffinadventures]

We originally used a Loctite product from bunnings but that has come loose so I have removed all the original silicone and have just used a bathroom and shower sealant from bunnings

[@grahamowen7152]

What are the specification in the availabe up a grade in the electrical system

[@scottnuffinadventures]

I'm not sure what Austrack have available from the factory but I have upgraded our battery to a 200ah Enerdrive B-tech lithium battery. The rest of the system is standard which consists of a 2000w Enerdrive Inverter and a 40amp 240v Enerdrive battery charger and a Renogy 30amp solar controller. I will be changing out the solar controller for a DCDC charger with dual inputs so I can run the power coming from the car and the solar panels through it. Ours also has 300w of solar on the roof. I hope this answers your question.

[@grahamowen7152]

@@scottnuffinadventures thanks for your comment I'm not by any means electric cluey they have fac, sandard readers 2w pure sinewave Inv, with remote switch Redarc Man, 30, complete Batt,Man,and charging system (the up grade I think is change Batt, to Lithium) your turn thanks Scott cheers Graham

[@maccamac7986]

So the moral of the story do not purchase an Austrack Tanami Camper, because if they can't get the important services right then how long will it take for the side walls to fall out.....

[@carelgarnett-bennett3881]

Great video, I have a similar problem when connected to mains 240v. How did you find its the relay. Did you disconnect the charger?

[@clintonmorris1945]

Hi I just bought a second hand x13. My mains pressure valve is hooked to the truma HWS and the mains has been disconnected. Just wondering if I may have same issue as you had. Was your mains pressure value also hooked up to the truma as I can see in your video it's now on the mains inlet

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Ours was plumbed incorrectly and the one way valve was in the wrong place causing the water to run straight out the pressure relief valve when connected to mains pressure

[@clintonmorris1945]

@@scottnuffinadventures thanks for the reply but im trying to work out did you move the pressure relief valve to the current location off of the truma HWS inlet.

[@TDubya811]

What car do you tow with?

[@scottnuffinadventures]

We towed the Tanami with a 2015 Holden colorado ute at first then we upgraded to Toyota Landcruiser 200 series.

[@dlauric]

Great video. Question... how did you damage the bed side walls? I had seen similar damage on an Austrack x15 in a carvan park. Is there something rubbing up against it when drivng?

[@scottnuffinadventures]

It's rubbing from Driving, we've noticed Austrack have now fixed this problem on the current models, we've had to do it ourselves at our own cost instead

[@ryanferguson3769]

Hey guys what do you tow it with???

[@scottnuffinadventures]

Originally 2015 Holden Colorado, now 200series Toyota Landcruiser with GVM upgrade

[@paulansell3309]

@@scottnuffinadventures HI mate. I am looking at the newer 2022 model Tanami X15 and I have a 2015 Holden Colorado. Can the Colorado handle the load?

[@markwhite6001]

Who says Australians got no style, I ask you

[@4dsdronefootage299]

as soon as you mention assembled in china that was it for me see BYE BYE!

[@scottnuffinadventures]

We would love to buy something completely Australian made but our budget couldn't stretch that far and there is no true Fully Australian made van anyway. The fitout for the Tanami is still done in Australia by an Australian company so we are still supporting Australia.
