MY DREAM CANOPY 12 MONTHS ON || Central Locking, Replacing The Induction Cooker & New Drawer

[@newtonmiller8810]

Man, 12 months, that’s flown by, it’s a great canopy, we’ll set up but more, very well built. The whole canopy series has showcased a great Aussie product with your integrity and honesty.

[@WildTouring]

It has gone so quickly! Totally agree mate, they build a great product! Hope I’ve done them justice, we need businesses like this to thrive.

[@deanissit]

Looks great looking forward to seeing your new van.

[@neilocoop]

Great looking canopy and ability to change out drawers is a big plus.

[@chrisspies8123]

Good to hear their canopy is going so well 12months on..

[@WildTouring]

Couldn’t be happier with it!

[@donfinch862]

Interesting post Cam. The Thunderfab boys are very accommodating. Reckon they'll do well. Cheers mate

[@rjl110919581]

Thanks for sharing your details video great watching all times

[@jemty9564]

Good update on ya rig mate looking forward to seeing the new van. Cheers from two West Aussies in Saudi

[@neilwelsford3578]

Nice video Cam. Where did you get the kitchen utensil pouch? looks like its custom made to fit the fridge door

[@dougneville9097]

Hey Cam,that's a really good set up,well built as well.Thanks for the ep.👴🏾👍🏾

[@LTN16]

Good stuff Cam, looking forward to seeing the new van 👍

[@markpalmer5787]

Talking about teasing your followers 🤣🤣🤣. Looking forward to seeing the canopy in the flesh 🤣. Still looks bloody new, 12mths WOW, that's an awesome testament for Thunderfab. Looks like another week, of wondering what you did to the van. Cheers Mark...

[@deanwoodbridge6851]

Thanks cam.

[@holgermuller2987]

Hi Cam, Really looking forward your vid on solar and charger system in details. There are so many new stuff now in Europe Germany Available especially on high voltage back connect solar panels with sun power cells.. pushing to 23% . Your roof looks huge… good place for 480wp panels.. LiFePo4 batteries oh men, 300Amps passed by 400Amps. Very interested in what you got…. Have a nice weekend Cheers😊

[@ladysusanjane2682]

Time goes quickly! Look forward to next week 👏🏻

[@WildTouring]

Sure does! Time is flying by!!

[@robertarmbruster5650]

Thanks for the review, another great Cam video. I think your canopy would be great on my 2021 DMax, I like the colour scheme and everything. I can't wait for more details on the new caravan.

[@newport5504]

Looks good still would love an update on the boat loader

[@WildTouring]

The boat loaders been awesome mate, it’s super solid and supports the boat really well. Rated to 150kg, supports 270 degree awnings and weighs 26kg. thunderfab.com.au/products/roof-top-boat-loader

[@louisdoliveira5420]

Hi Cam can't wait to c the new van. I'm glad you made the canopy doors white now it don't look like 2 different vehicles. What is your dream tow vehicle in the future after the dmax. One thing is for sure Oz is expensive. Just good luck to U and family.

[@WildTouring]

Good question mate, and honestly I don’t know now. Nothing standard would do it for me. The dream would be 200 series or a y62 chopped, stretched, canopy on the back and serious GVM upgrade. Or a 79 series with a chassis extension, canopy, auto trans and a wider diff under the back to sort the track issue. All dreams that will definitely be out of my budget! Not sure what I’ll actually do after the Dmax! I guess I’ll find compromise somewhere like I always do 👍🏼

[@furtherupthetrack7583]

Thanks for the video Cam 👍👍👍

[@WildTouring]

Always a pleasure 👍🏼

[@mudgutsthomas3934]

Nice one Cam, tell me, where did u get the pocket/storage system on the front of ur fridge? cheers mate

[@brick4x48]

Do you get any condescension in the canopy with this cooler weather

[@makintrax1117]

Very informative 🤙, looks like a wicked set up.

[@WildTouring]

Cheers mate 👍🏼

[@garysheppard4028]

If you don't mind me asking, what's a ballpark for the cost of that canopy? Just bare bones - no internal drawers etc? Thanks.

[@louiskudlak2241]

Great products buddy, lov the xtra tray, cool, looking forward to the caravan walk around 👍👍 we all have 1st world problems 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kimscott1578]

Cam, how is the induction cooker cooled in the draw? I know our portable unit needs quite a bit of cooling when used on the higher settings.

[@extractingtherichness599]

Great setup. Enjoy your videos. How did you generate the smoke for seal test

[@WildTouring]

Cheers mate, a cheap eBay smoke machine 😂

[@roamingnurses8785]

How has it been 12 months!? Where has the time gone.

[@Daleejr08]

Any details on those awesome latches. I’d love to wire my boxes into the central locks.

[@WildTouring]

Nah no idea mate, Thunderfab sorted all that out for me with the canopy!

[@andyoutback6336]

That's awsome mate. Do you have any links for the lock motors ?

[@WildTouring]

Nah can’t help you there, sourced by Thunderfab as part of the canopy for me!

[@lewismather2599]

Is the central locking system a kit anyone can buy to fit to their canopy

[@WildTouring]

Don’t think so, just a part of the canopies ThunderFab sell. Other mobs may sell them aftermarket for retrofitting though.

[@4x4touring47]

Nice run-through Cam 👍 I'd be looking to make that drawer under the cooktop into the trundle style so you have a drawer plus a bench top. Please tell them not to base anything on the titan drawers . . . Worst bit of cheap nasty heavy unusable space you can get. They have their place but surely not in a nice canopy like that

[@WildTouring]

Not a bad idea 👍🏼 Haha yeah I hear ya 😂 But like you said, titan drawers have their place in the market. For a couple of hundred bucks they’ll do the job!

[@maxhill1146]

Where did you get the fridge storage from

[@WildTouring]

@pmcanvasproducts on Instagram, can see examples of what they do or order your own custom dimensions there. They’ll post aus wide.

[@jamestanner9198]

What weights are you mate . Loaded car and van . Car loaded . then van loaded and your gcm ?

[@WildTouring]

No idea, vans brand new and empty. I’ll weigh it before a trip once everything’s loaded.

[@chrisc7146]

Old mate who wanted Titan drawers in the Thunderfab canopy…🤯

[@WildTouring]

😂 haha yeah I was a bit surprised with the choice. Different strokes for different folks I guess! To be fair, titan drawers have their place in the market, can’t argue that they’re not good value for money! There would be tens of thousands of them bouncing around in the back of wagons around Australia doing the job!

[@BeeBeorn]

I thought.. Induction cookers are all over the place. Both pricewise and quality. But decent ones are so far cheap. But, there can not be many brands that build them for outior 4wd environment. ..Most, even all ,are built for a static life in the house kitchen . ..so they will fail more often then we like ..

[@WildTouring]

Yeah I’d agree with that. The safiery ones are marketed for use in caravan/camper trailers/motor homes. So they SHOULD be up to the corrugations. First one wasn’t though, so we’ll see how we go.. I’ll mount the new one on some double sided adhesive rubber or foam to take out some of the shock.

[@1989cranston]

For the love of god stay away from Safiery, they are one of, it not the biggest rip-off merchants in the caravan/car/solar electrical industry.. I am an electrician and it is genuinely incredible what these clowns charge for their work.. that being said, they do a clean install. But so does any other installer that is worth their salt. Do your research.

[@WildTouring]

Fair comment Nick. I don’t have any experience with them, or plan to do anything with them. So can’t really comment. I’ve only got their induction cooker because I couldn’t find any other flush fitting single hob. Otherwise I’ll stick with what worked really well for me- Allspark lithium/solar/inverters and Victron/enerdrive charging gear 👌

[@brentmcd12]

you got a pretty good setup now ! 🛻🤙😎

[@WildTouring]

Cheers Brent, love it mate!
