ULTIMATE dual battery set up for OFF-GRID LIVING! REDARC red vision system camping | 4wding

[@MarcoPolo-vb1sw]

$15k just to keep the tinnies cold….sheesh… just get a cool box with some ice 3-4days no probs.

[@MrFastFarmer]

I tend to agree. The 4x4/Camping industry has just become a money making joke. It's no wonder Kings are booming.

[@TylerThompson90]

I find it interesting how people pick one bit of information from a video and then disregard everything else haha, as I said this system isn't for everyone but not sure how a cool box is going to charge all my camera gear to make these videos? And how a cool box is going to run camp lights and fridge when I don't see civilisation for 10 days? Or charge chainsaw batteries? Or laptop I need to make these videos? Or phones to communicate?

[@davidpicot5457]

No one wants to watch you fill your ice box with ice 🤣

[@MrFastFarmer]

@@TylerThompson90 I think there's a disconnect because for you it is a business expense, but for most of your viewers it's a personal expense.

[@TylerThompson90]

I agree, which is why I clearly state this system is not for everyone and why my lifestyle and what I do demands something like this. Like old mate above is comparing me with someone that goes out with mates a few weekends a year for a couple of nights and sits around the campfire sinking tinnies, of course it would be completely insane for him to have this system. I've tried cheaper systems and they aren't enough for me. Like how is a cool box going to help me in my situation? haha. Just because this system isn't for everyone doesn't mean I cant do a video on it, lots of people ask me so I did, I feel like people take it as a personal attack because they have a cheaper system, if you don't want to see it click off.

[@mfalme]

Thanks for doing this. It’s the clearest video on KZbin detailing what each component does.

[@TylerThompson90]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jesselamb2179]

I just installed basically this exact same system in my Navs new canopy and did it all myself. The red arc gear is so user friendly and can hands down agree with the red arc technical support and after sales service being second to none as you said in the video. I had a few questions when installing a quick phone call to redarc and I was put through to a technician who was more than happy to go over my setup and the best ways to go about it. Couldn’t ask for more in my opinion

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah awesome mate, seems to be the common story I hear!

[@darrenc4096]

$14,000.00 - $16,000.00 !!!! FMD !! My whole 4wd is worth that. 😔

[@benmorrison9004]

Looks like a nice set-up 👌 I would have thought that the 240v input would have been on the outside of the canopy so you can keep all the doors etc closed

[@AustralianImage]

When on a boy's trip, I run everything via the Patrol's simple dual-battery setup and when camping with wife, I use an inexpensive LiFePo4 battery in a box and fold-up solar panel for weeks of power for the fridge. Cooking is done either on the fire or a gas cooker with usually pre-made meals. When on a boy's trip, all the cooking is on a Coleman single fuel burner or a cheap 12V hot box (all pre-made meals kept in the fridge in vacuum bags or tin foil boxes). And I can charge all my video and stills camera batteries, plus chainsaw battery etc without any issues. After more than 40 years of off-roading, the simpler the better.

[@jorjimaco5331]

The blue stuff is heaps better. They all do the same job!!!!!!

[@TylerThompson90]

Hmm this set up is very different to the Victron one, not saying the Victron one is bad, its great gear and suitable for majority of people and I am re using that gear in the patrol. But if you actually listened to the information its not the same and the new set up does a whole lot more

[@jorjimaco5331]

@@TylerThompson90 I did listen and they do exactly the same thing, I like some red stuff! Me personally I wouldn’t have wasted money on new stuff when all that victron gear was set up without a canopy in the first place. New sponsor????

What a dream set up! Very jealous. Great to hear it's getting well used and making life (and work) easier on the road. Also great to see you supporting quality local manufacturing and businesses that provide top tier products, installation, and service. It's always good for a laugh to see the fruit loops having a dig at you for not using the same setup as them, often made from C grade imported gear, set up for occasional weekend use with a fridge and a USB port. Glad it works for them, but seriously haha.

[@jessetink3753]

Wow 😯 what a set up. That’s amazing, how far technology has come.

[@anthonybewley]

Does anyone know if/where you can buy the aluminium tray/caucus and covers that they used for the setup?

[@jackrowe3630]

Josh is a top bloke, he just bought a rear bar off a gu patrol from me ahahah

[@boneyone5769]

Who in reality is spending this amount of money on a 12V system? This is a prime example of the law of diminishing returns, it’s just not seven times better than a $2000 system, it’s just not…. Granted, your vehicle is a showpiece but this is just spending cubic dollars for the sake of spending.

[@MrFastFarmer]

It's a strange time in Australia. People seem to be spending money like it's meaningless..

[@TylerThompson90]

Apparently they are quite popular, pumping out several a month

[@Corey-pd3mi]

🙋‍♂️ but it’s not costing that much, helps if you can cut out the labour cost

[@CMReid]

@@MrFastFarmer spot on mate. The simplicity off going camping and off road has been forgotten by so many

[@jeep2701]

Or not spending!

[@craigbarron5620]

This shows the high end. There are other levels that work perfectly. Ctek 20A dcdc charger $350, lithium battery $650, fused distribution box (other or K's) $200, 170W Hardkorr solar panel $180, shunt $200, optional AC lithium charger $200 to $400. Some wiring, fuses... Mine is perfect and sub $2,000.

[@darrenc4096]

That’s realistic. 👍🍺

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah mate and suitable to a lot of people, no one is saying you can't have or use that system. I feel like people always take this as a personal attack and I am saying their cheaper system is sh*t. But a cheaper system is not going to offer what this system does and I've tried cheaper systems and they do not work for me and what I need from a dual battery system being a full time content creator that spends weeks on the road at a time.

[@Wolf4wdadventures.576]

@@TylerThompson90 Hey Tyler, as the old saying goes... there's courses for horses.. everyone's different in there setup, and what you explained and need is what you need to run your business... My set up is great for my needs, dual Battery, DC to DC, solar panel and I'm good to go for a few days or so... Maybe those who have questioned your set up need to watch the video again to understand why you need what you need and its cost factor. Great explanation re your set up 👍

I have purchased an Enerdrive system for my new Canopy. It will have a 200ah lithium battery, 2000w inverter, DCDC charger, ACDC charger and that other stuff. I plan to pop a slimline solar panel on the canopy roof rack. This kit will run a 130L upright Bushman fridge, ARB twin compressor and induction cook top etc. I’ll prob no longer use LPG and start using battery chainsaw and 54v tools eg. Its a game changer for saving weight, time and making work on the road comfortable.

[@fatmanoverlanding]

I've just commintted one of the "7 Deadly Sins", 'coz I'm drooling with envy at this 12v system 🤤 It's my dream to have the REDARC RedVision Manager30 Kit fitted in my 80 Series Landcruiser. I just can't decide where exactly to fit it.

[@poodletarmac3274]

Backward step in afraid Tyler. Should have looked at Victron blue, 75amp charging from a 3kw invertor charger. Much better connection via Bluetooth. Redarc has been reported to drop out when trying to connect/control via app. But I suppose if you get the system for a reduced price or free? Then good on you.

[@dak651]

Thanks mate. Working with a Autoelectrician to bulletproof my camper trailer for week plus off grid campy.

[@stephenlatimer1428]

top install mate. totally get why u need this n makes sense. as u said its not for everyone. the standard AGM system works very well for the touring person who only needs the basic 12v acc. its not necessary to have a Lithium system to travel this vast land wen a AGM 12v system will work for ur needs n that depends on wat u think ur needs r. for me in my 2021 Ram 1500 i have the same system as u have with the only difference being i run twin 200Liths in my Mits canopy. i use the Ram to tow my 2021 Nitro bass boat to the barra dams n the cod dams in winter. this year i am buying a 2022 Ram 1500 with Mits Canopy n will be running the same 12v system in it n giving my son the 2021 Ram to fish the dams with me. before the nay sayers jump on board as they have done to u TT, i am not a youtuber just a fisherman who can afford these things n its wat i want. gud on u TT.

[@pauldavies4650]

When the canopy is worth more than the vehicle, Lol. It's a bit like a ferrari; everyone would love one, not many could justify the cost, even if they could afford it. Seriously, awesome setup, mate. Sincerely, congrats on the gear and getting to the point on the channel where you can get it. 💪🍻

[@jase6827]

Don't buy a Redarc manager. Best is Enerdrive or Victron or any other brand that you're charging points are 3 seperate charghing devices.

[@darrenbanks3891]

Nice set up mate 👌. Dont know where all this hate is coming from, like you said you need to charge alot more things than most people so for you this level of setup is necessary. Keep up the great videos mate 👍

[@camsin1973]

Another great vid mate 👍- Fantastic to see you've got a system that will suit your needs and allow you to get out there, enjoy trips with the family and film some great content for us to watch !!! Keep up the great work Legend 😁

[@theplacesmyfeettakeme]

Awesome video mate. Represented Hastings perfectly and they should be commended on one of the best setups I’ve seen for a canopy. Yeah it’s x’y but it’s the top of the tree and I think worth every cent if it’s allowing you to do what you do hassle free. Value perception is a personal thing and you aren’t forcing your opinion on anyone, so others should perhaps do the same..

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Cool very nice, hope it goes well for you, Iam not a fan of to much teck as if goes bad out the bush how do you fix it,

At first I thought you were installing the ultimate dual battery system in the Patrol, which made sense to me, because you already installed the ultimate dual battery system in the Navara & hinted that you will be buying & building another vehicle to replace the Navara. Or are you going to put the old, ultimate dual battery system into the Patrol, & then this new ultimate dual battery system from the Navara into the new vehicle when you get it?

[@TylerThompson90]

Yeah kinda haha, the Victron set up from the Nav is being transported and built over into the Patrol (video coming on that soon). But it made more sense to have the bigger and better dual battery system in the nav as it is more the tourer and one for longer trips and has the water tank, lights, more charging requirements etc

[@MicahBell_1860]

@@TylerThompson90 & when the new rig comes to replqve the Nav, you will transfer this setup into that? Or am l spoiling your suprise?

Yep the dual battery system will go with the canopy to the next 4wd, another reason why we put it in the canopy because it makes it much easier to transfer
