Nicely done mate. Really beautiful and i like the fact that you did setup an upright fridge instead of chest freezer/fridge.

[@StrictlyBush]

Thankyou for your feedback! The fridge is so easy, highly recommend.

[@ottouring]

Hey, I’m a fan of upright fridges as well. Glad I chose one in my set up. I talk about it in my set up video and will do a review in next few weeks Cheers Out There Touring

Hey, absolutely love your build, using it as inspiration for mine! Just curious regarding your 12V setup, did you get all the little ports and everything seperate or did you get it in a kit?? Cheers!

[@CJFranciss]

Hey mate awesome build. Pretty much exactly what I want to do on the kitchen side. I think I missed it but what size is your canopy? I’m guessing 1000mm?

[@Lacho2k3]

Hey guys awesome video! Do you find that you're wanting more room in the canopy? I've been thinking about getting the TC 1500mm but it will basically fill my tray. And also how much room to you lose because of the struts? Cheers

[@StrictlyBush]

Hey Mate. We find it’s the perfect amount of room for all our essentials that’s we want put away like clothes, cooker, food, speakers, blower etc. we then put the “dirty” stuff on the back with heaps of room to play with :)

Great fi-tout video! I really dig that slide out pantry. With those air-vents, are those little filters easily replaceable / accessible to wash out and re-insert?

[@StrictlyBush]

Thankyou! We just have them on with a double sided tape, and we made the gap big enough so that someone with a small hand can do the job 😂

[@12v_obsession92]

Hey mate, great canopy build. Always love to see people do their own setups! With regard to the 50amp breaker installed under the bonnet, it is an auto reset style? If so, I wouldn't recommend them. My experience with them in under-bonnet use has seen failures and neusense tripping as they don't like heat. I would swap it out to a suitibly sized MIDI fuse if you can. Keep up the good work. Cheers.

[@StrictlyBush]

Hey mate glad you liked it. Yeah it’s auto reset. Haven’t had a problem so far, this is more temporary to get through the summer I haven’t had power running to the canopy since lock down but I’ll have a look. Cheers mate!!

[@cyclemoto8744]

HAve heard that yet mine has not had an issue in 5 years so I would take that advice with a grain of salt. Cheers

[@12v_obsession92]

@@cyclemoto8744 So because your setup has not had an issue in 5 years means using an auto reset circuit breaker is going to be fine for everybody else's individual circumstances?? It's typical that people such as your self will tell others to disregard considering upgrading to a proven industry standard that functions more efficiently in high heat environments for such little additional cost..🙄

[@ryansmith9283]

wicked set up mate well thought out been happy with the fridge the mounting still holding up ok ?

[@StrictlyBush]

Hey mate, the canopy was bolted on a year ago and there has been plenty high country trips, few days of playing in the mud and also a lot of time on the road and we haven’t had a problem yet. I’ve also had to take the fridge out twice now and it’s never been so easy. 4 screws and a tie down

[@ottouring]

[@jaco373737]

Nice canopy mate. How has the bit of sheet metal gone with keeping the fridge in place? Is there any movement over corrugations? Just bought a fridge and going to do the same tie down I think. Cheers

[@StrictlyBush]

It has worked really well, we haven't had any problems or movement at all so far! Its been a year and we have done plenty of 4x4 :)

Awesome little build guys, I'm doing similar sort of thing. Just wondering what paint and primer did you guys use?

[@StrictlyBush]

Hey Taylor! Thanks for the feedback. We can't really remember as a mate did it for us but pretty sure it was Dulux branded.

[@nathnjay7861]

Awesome video guys. Mad on that pantry setup!! Without the fridge price,what sort of dollars did the build set you back.

[@StrictlyBush]

Hey Nath! Cheers for the feedback. The canopy shell itself, timber, carpet, 12 volt setup, pantry ($700) latches and locks for the draws and all of the small stuff added up to about 4.5 grand and then the fridge was an extra $1300 on top! We tried to keep it as budget friendly as possible

[@kyleoriley]

Hey mate been looking at those boxes do you think the door opening will be big enough to run a bushman’s 130 upright fridge

[@StrictlyBush]

Hey mate, I think you will struggle with the 130L, that fridge is a lot taller then the 85L. I’ve only got about 50mm max on top of the fridge to the top of the door

[@owenh3459]

What size is the canopy ?

[@matthewbrookes8761]

Hey mate bit of a weird one. But do you think there is enough room on top of the fridge and between the canopy roof to mound a switch panel type thing?

[@ottouring]

Hey Matthew, I was thinking of doing the same thing but decided to cut into head board due to hassle if you ever needed to remove fridge for any reason you would have to fully remove and disconnect all switch assembly. Have a look at my video My 12v set up Cheers Out There Touring

Hey sam. It was just marine carpet we got from Bunnings. We chose that one because it is waterproof and camping can get messy lol.
