No worries! Solder is fine too, I'm just not a super fan of using it on flex.

Not if the time between uses is quick, consecutive showers are fine, doesn't cool off too quick however we haven't used it in super cold areas, in the snow would be a different storey haha, Thanks for watching!

Yes agree, if they could squeeze one it it would make a great product even better!

Excellent! 23 Zero make some good gear.

Thank you very much!

Its a caravan for ants haha (Zoolander reference)

Thank you!

Yeah, hard to critique your own work, always the toughest of judges

🙏 thank you

Thank you, wait till you see it next, got rego now and going out on maiden voyage next weekend but shh don't tell anyone haha

😀

Thanks, it tasted real good too 😀

Haha yeah it's a bit like that, thanks

It came up really good, and you could taste the garlic through it. Defs gonna do that again.

Agree! Victron is the best in my opinion. The regulator is the most important part. I've seen some good numbers out of mine, very pleased.

Thank you!

Yeah it's come up good, been a learning curve for sure 👍

Yeah getting there. Thank you!

Yep, ok, no worries. Do you only drive to the carpark, or just limiter bash the whole way?

No worries, you can do that if you like 👍

You'll have to wait for the next episode 🤫😁

Thanks! Haven't got that far yet but something to consider.

Nah the kids can have the swags aha

Thanks for watching, new episode out this weekend.

Next update episode will be out this weekend.

Yeah it's pretty schmick!

It sure is, exactly the same. Same company. Companion in Australia and Kakadu in North America. thanks for watching!

Why is the Kakadu $499 and the Companion $399? Conversion rate is 1.5:1 USD to Australian $

Yeah not sure, possibly freight from Australia to US (or China US), maybe even a lack of direct competition as there are no similar products, currency exchange fees, not too sure. You could contact them direct and see what they say, might offer you a discount.

Glue and screwed from underneath with some extra fixings on the inside which Gaz will cover off in an upcoming episode. Thanks for watching!

And the most tasty, when your stuck in the bush on a cold winters night! Thanks for watching!

Hi, it really depends on brand of MPPT. Some MPPTs can take a higher wattage than others. For this size panel (250w) I would go at least a 15A but a 20A would be better for 12v. If you divide the wattage of the panel by the charge rate of the battery that will give you an idea of the size for a regulator. E.G. 250w/14.7v = 17A, less losses of about 10-20% a 15A will be bang on the money. We use Victron SmartSolar MPPTs as they can take a higher wattage. Just remember that power clipped is power wasted so even if a 10A reg can take 250W it will clip the panel output down to 10A and the rest is wasted. In this scenario if there is only a few bucks difference between the 15A and a 20A go the 20A. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

Yes, we can look at doing a trip map, I'll post it to our Facebook. Give me a bit of time as I've got a bit on at the moment. Thanks for watching!

Mines been brilliant, I've used it on at least 15 different trips now, no issues but I did put a hole in it with the cross bar where I missed the eyelet on one end. The sides do sag in a fair bit which is fine if one person is in there but with 2 you'd want to look at the middle bar mod aka pool noodle or pvc pipe. The mattress is pretty thin, I actually run a self inflating air mattress over the top if camping in it for more than one night. We might have to do a 2yr review on it and some of the other swags we have. I just bought a new Oztrail and the thing is so much better but it was about 3 times as expensive, and much bigger and heavier. Thanks for watching!

Thanks 👍

I'll change it to a genuine Anderson Plug, only because I have some, but I'll leave the wiring as it is. I could solder in some thicker wire or proper PV twin but I don't think it will be a huge benefit. Thanks for watching!

Wait till you see it with some sheets on! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Haven't had a chance to use it for a while but it was still cranking a few months back. We'll have to do a camp episode and crank it up again for a follow up. Thanks for watching!

I can't fault their performance. I've used them a few times camping now and each time they are performing at peak output. I did a video recording the output but I've lost the footage, I will do an update on them probably in the next few months. As predicted the bag has faded and started to get some rips but the panels themselves are great. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. Gaz covers off the trim in either the next update video (9th June) or the one after. Gaz used a combination of angle and a T section. Thanks for watching!

It's all true haha, thanks for watching!

That's certainly one way to do it. Thanks for watching!

G'day, thanks for watching! I have a feeling they are available for purchase in the US. I have sent them an email and will update if I get a reply.

Thank you I appreciate that🙏

Hi, they are under a different name in the States, Kakadu here: www.kakaduusa.com/

Thank you

It's coming along nicely. It's going to be a cool little camper! Thanks for dropping by, congrats on hitting 1000 subs a little while back too, not sure if I commended previously. Loving your content!

Thank you!

Thank you 😊

Thanks 😁

No worries, thanks for watching!
