Coorong Coast - Adventures in a DIY caravan and Truekit Discovery 400
Gday. Enjoying the videos. Im looking at a truekit. Just wondering whether you think the 400 is a bit big for your purposes or its working better than a 330 might? Keep up the good work. Cheers Matt
Thanks. I’ve never been in a 330 but i definitely think the 400 is a great size. I often go out with 3 or 4 adults which the 330 wouldn’t handle too well.
Epic viewing so far, ( I'm only up to Ep 4 ). Two questions that i haven't seen answered yet, 1. What is your skill set? 2. What is the travel height? ( i saw the height mentioned in Ep 1, but I have assumed this was total height.
Thanks! Im a geologist 😅. The van fits under a 2.4m roller door. I think the chassis is 570mm off the deck.
Incredible build. You've made yours better than many of the so-called professional caravan builders in Australia.
Thank you. It was a hell of a ride.
In a word, impressive! I’d like to know if you were working to a bought plan or no plan at all (made it up as you went along). Either way you’re a very capable person. A Victorian I note too! Maybe I’ll see you out there one day. Cheers. 😉👍
Thanks! I spent maybe 3 months designing it on SketchUp software before i bit the bullet and started buying stuff. Sadly the van hasn’t moved in months due to work getting in the way, but I’ll be back out there soon enough!
@@PerpetualTransient Excellent work nonetheless. What part of Vic.
Geelong
@@PerpetualTransient Korumburra here. 👍
Came here as was considering building my own caravan, but I think I'll just buy one after watching that. That was impressive and you must have a wide range of skills and knowledge to put that together. How do you know what to order in the first place, so many unique things that go into a caravan.
3 months solid research, mostly online but also visiting caravan manufacturers here and there. It was surprisingly more simple than i expected.
Hey there, where did you get the mud guards from? They look awesome and I don’t know what I’m searching for :)
They were just online. There’s some on eBay or i got them from a Melbourne based Chinese import 4wd shop called sunyee
@@PerpetualTransientthanks so much
Just one more question, were the mudguards you brought plastic or metal?
Metal. They’re welded to chassis
@@PerpetualTransient thank you so much, I really appreciate it
Nice build.. what materials did you in main walling ?
It’s a fibreglass composite panel 28mm thick, 2mm fibreglass skins with a 24mm xps foam core.
nice build mate, pinching a few idea
Great review. Thanks
Fabulous build mate. I've been watching a lot of square drop builds on RUclips with a view to building my own. You've got a tonne of skill sets, I'm signing up for a welding course cause that's my weak spot. Where did you buy the Fibre composite wall sheet if you don't mind me asking? I'm in Melbourne.
Thanks. TransformRV in somerton are the go. Tell Vince i sent you and he’ll look after you!
Great work. Just got a 4m Discovery and am thinking of doing something similar with an old tinnie trailer - you gave me some great ideas. Only wish mine had the break back option. How's your trailer holding up now? Anything you'd do differently? Cheers
Thanks. I think the spot at the front where the boat hits the winch pole could do with a carpeted support just to hold it a bit more neatly.
😲😲😍😍👍🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🇫🇷🫡
Update on the blanket?
Unfortunately haven’t been on adventures for a year now. Hopefully test it out again across summer.
Mate, you have fitted so man gagits in it, there is not enough room it to enjoy the inside. It more like a rocket control modul😂
You can’t have too many gadgets!
Amazing. Well done
Very nice.
I Brought the 300 watt itec solar blanket. live in southwest WA on the best day I got 18 + amps and 258 Watts
Hey. That's some great content you have produced there. Very enjoyable with awesome imagery. Subbed and everything. :)
Thanks mate
awesome build. Love it. Well done mate!
Cheers
A pair of Doehl Fins will work better. I've gotten + 3mph flat out and planes at 12.
Ok cool. Haven’t heard of them before
Enjoyable viewing. I'm planning a trip soon from Bourke to Wilcannia, can you advise your travel times between Bourke - Louth, Louth - Tilpa & Tilpa - Wilcannia and also which road was better driving the west or east options? Cheers
This was over a year ago now and the road changes every wet as you know. Most of the way i only had one side or the other as an option as it had only just opened from some wet weather. I’m struggling to remember which side where now, and also how long individual stretches took. I think the most i drove in any day was 3 hours and i spent maybe 4 days in the actual river run, the balance of the week being on the side trips. Hope that helps.
How did you go with the rivets wearing holes into the jerry tanks? I swapped out the rivets with SS 5x 4 x 10 chicago screws from ebay/ China. Use red or green loctite and they will stay put.
Ended up being a non-event. Doesn’t even touch thankfully
Dude... You've got some seriously good skills. I thought I was pretty good.... but fk you're REAL GOOD!!! Bravo!
Haha! Just faking until making around here
Wow. I love this.
Cheers
Hi Craig. Rewatching your build series now that Im actually doing it and finalising the detailed dsign stage. Have you been happy with the 6L Ausj HWS??. Looks pretty good. Is it hungry on power? Do your water tank breathers come up into cabinetry?. When filling do they not spill over into cabinetry? Cheers gavin
Hi Gavin - the HWS is good. Works well. It’s only really good for a quick wash off though. I’d probably look at 10L if you want a decent shower. I think it pulls about 20 amps across the hour to warm up, but then to maintain temp it’s a lot less. I usually switch it on ahead of the shower then switch it off until the next one. The water breathers follow the fill line back to the fill point cap. When it over flows it comes out a small hole above the fill point and spills outside the van. In reality it actually starts gurgling and spurting back out the fill point first.
Can we get a tour video
If you check the channel, episode 1 of the build series i do a walk around and design rationale. It wasn’t 100% finished at that point, but pretty close.
Nice bould! Once i had bould one.. in europe they didnt understand. Offroading with a camper? I loved it. Double axels! Greetimgs from the netherlands ❤
Hello! I was just in Europe. Caravans are very different for sure. Towed by small city cars and very lightweight.
Well done, looked like you had all the gear for building, what size is the van and is there a floor plan. cheers
Thanks. If you look at episode 1 of the series there’s a bit more detail on the layout etc.
Awesome build. Watched this one, now I have to go through the individual episodes for the details.
Thanks. There’s 10 hours to binge!
Skills mate
And a bunch of luck!
Awesome
Congratulations, excellent work. I'm a retired builder and welder and your work is top notch! last camper caravan I built didn't have any of those modern materials, but old school aluminium frame and cladding. You deserve lots of praise and thanks for the post. I would love to know what the adhesive was you were copiously applying? Sems it must be great stuff.
Thanks! I mainly used terroson MS939, absolutely the best. Will delaminate the material before it lets go.
Yeah, na, she be right! Good work!
Still holding strong!
Calling it a solo build is embellishing the truth a little.
Lol
You earned my subscription with this build. I'm not joking when I say this is the best home camper build that I've ever seen. I've seen a lot, by the way. Great job! Are you a pro cabinet maker by trade?
Thanks! No im a geologist actually. Done a few home renovations but not much else. Definitely not known for my finesse
Open bow is a terrible design for fishing. As soon as swells start hitting you, you will feel every wave that comes unto you. Also this boat has 1-2 chambers? which means, any shark attack, or reef puncturing your main chamber, your boat will go under. For any inflatable boat, especially ocean worthy, you need at least 3-4 chambers to begin with.
It has 4 chambers. Plenty of folks taking these offshore. Not sure I’d enjoy a friendly shark.
What did you use to build the walls from?
It’s a fibreglass composite panel, 28mm thick with an XPS foam core
@@PerpetualTransient Is that similar to Azdel?
Hmm haven’t heard of that. Go look at transformRV or styromax website in Australia for details
You look like a pretty decent welder to me. Very impressive. That caravan is built much better than most of what is out there to buy. Well done.
Thanks 🙏
Toomuch ad, don't know may be that's your income. Do you do anything else for survival? Sometimes I wonder those people move around bush, what is their income? How do they buy car, food etc.
Unfortunately RUclips puts the ads. I get very little income from RUclips. I work 9-5 also.
So, you do this adventure over the weekend or vacation. @@PerpetualTransient
@merrifieldgalos6248 both, but haven’t been for too long
@@PerpetualTransient keep doing the bush trip. So we can watch the bush life sitting in our comfort zone. I believe it is hard. Thanks for your nice videos.
Could you please make few videos without any music, just nature sounds please.
Very nice 👍
Thanks
What a great accomplishment, looks awesome! Where did you get the plans? Ive been wanting to build one myself but it be so much easier if i had plans.
I just made them up. Drew it all on SketchUp. Spent maybe 3 months getting it right before starting.
Brought the 300 watt solar blanket. It only puts out 145w. I Will never buy anything from a one store wonder. It’s too hard, to get the solar panel fixed. Will now have to buy an additional solar panel, to replace this useless itec one, will go to BCF. Itec, technical support, is pathetic, no customer care, skills.
I’ve heard a few say they had panels with low outputs but itech seemed to be pretty good at swapping them over i thought. Mine is still going strong after a few rough and dusty trips.
I Brought the 300 watt itec solar blanket. live in southwest WA on the best day I got 18 + amps and 258 Watts. make them replace it
Thanks for your video. Inspired us to camp there for 4 days. Beautiful spot, loved it.
Really is magical
what kind of panneling you used for interial and exterial walls? Looks very light weight.
Exterior is called fibreglass composite panel and the internal is called purelite which is a pvc material. Both light but very strong. Most Aussie vans now made out of these or similar.
Do you know how much that build cost? Asking for a friend🙄😅 btw awesome job!!
I’m planning to do a full budget breakdown episode if i ever get around to it, so stay tuned!
Gasless Mig?
Yeh my little unit for tacking it all together was gasless. Main welding was done with stick.
G'day Mate, found your channel by pure luck and love the idea, build and most of all the time you put in recording the videos. I am going to build one myself, was looking at a squaredrop, but with the ideas I wanted to fit on my project the smaller trailer wasn't going to cut it. Saw your first video a few days ago and decided a van your size roughly would be right for me. I subscrided, gave you the 👍🏻, now I'm going through the rest of your videos to put pen to paper. It inspiring your work shall keep watching the rest of the videos and the channel for updates and more projects. Again well done. 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Tony. Hit me up with any questions and good luck 🤞
Hey mate, Just a quick tip when folding down the TrueKit. It's actually easier to fold the boat as you deflate it - instead of waiting 10 minutes as you said. What I mean by that is, once you release the pressure start to fold over the pontoon and get it into that position you eventually got it in where the black rubber scuff strip is facing upwards. By doing it this way with air still in the chambers it's a lot easier to manipulate the fold. It's very hard to demonstrate without actually showing you as there are many other small tips and tricks - but that's the main thing you are doing that's making your life harder when folding it down. I'll suggest a "Folding your TrueKit - Tips and Tricks" video to the team at Truekit, I'm sure it'll help a lot of people out!
Ahh that’s a good tip, thanks.
From what I've seen the 300 watt doesn't give out anywhere what some people say.
I’m happy with mine, stayed consistent on a few big trips dragging it through the red centre
