Pretty Awsome to see a completely different setup. Only thing I’d try with boat would be the mozzie loader style setups. That way boats always setup ready to rock, outboard has a home an also have a trailer for boat on hand
Hey mate looks good and well done, I have an X1 and PCOR gear and it has been to the tele track 4 times and Arnham land a few too. One thing though…… that 270 awning will need to go champ as you are not going to get the full ‘270’ with the boat on. Try the darche 180.
Interesting place to put the motor i would not have though of that one, I have my motor on the draw bar but with your setup poses a problem getting to the front box but everything is a comprimise as you have been learning along the way, Love the vids and the explore life crew
We have an Opus OP4 with a tinny on top. The rack folds off to the side with the tinny attached so you can leave it on with the camper fully set up. There's also a video of it doing the Tele Track and gunshot as well. Heaps of space, heaps of storage and it's massive with a fully enclosed annexe.
Hey mate, patriot and tinnie topper looks mint!! I had the almac setup on my 200 and my merc 20 on a similar bracket. Kaymar swing away. As you know the corrugated roads Yiu really will need to support the leg on the outboard in some way I learnt the hard way and got a hairline crack in the motor transom clamp.. just food for thought mate again trailer looks unreal with the tinnie topper!
Sic dude, congrats, can’t wait to see you guys up in Arnhem Land, that place is epic…The, 70, X1N and tinny will be mint fishing the best spots alone no camper vans dam she will be good. Enjoy 🤘
Bruder exp 4 Matt that would’ve been the go, if you got coin, but you’ve gone to the right guys for a tough and good looking camper enjoy the Top End mate,Joe
What a mint set up. Can’t wait to watch episodes each week. Love the tinnie setup , hard to find a good setup that has tinnie as well as storage. Any ideas on total weight? 👍🏻👍🏻
Love this episode Thank you.. love the ideas you have with the trailer and camper with the tinny. I wasnt a fan of the vision and the patriot camper until you those changes lol. also where is the misses at? Looking forward to the next adventure. ✌
No fallouts team. Still love the trackies and we were going to work with them again but you guys have seen us tow it to the Tele already. We wanted to try something new and see if we could make it work
Should put some poly pipe along the outside of the top box to hold your fishing rods. Don’t have to worry about them breaking in the main storage box then 👌
That looks killer! We have a 21ft van and love it but the X1N is on the bucket list for those quick weekend getaways in the high country (can see the snow from the front door)
Great idea for a Basecamp man 🤙 I work just down from black marlin and was wondering what was going on with that X1 in their yard. From and engineering standpoint it will be interesting to see how it tows on the highway and offroad given the smaller triangle between drawbar and wheels amplified by the higher cog and wind loading versus most boat and camper trailers. But if it works well John will be kept happy for a while😂
Setup looks aboslutely mint, suprised patriot didnt do a rack, guess it went through the cad whilst there so they might now. I would grab a bag for you tinne motor so it doesn't get full of dust on the tracks
45k and you still got to carry a swag somewhere? Or you and Nav sharing the roof top tent? Anyway Keep up the good work guys looking forward to watching your adventures north 👌
Interested to see whether you're under the 1,600kg ATM when you're filled with water, food and gear...? I've had an X3 and can highly recommend keeping an eye on your air bags after setting off each day and setting to correct 395mm shock extended length (i.e. suspension height) as recommended by Cruisemaster otherwise you'll be smashing your bump stops all the time.
Hahaha yer I bet Justin found some room in the powder coating line-up. Gurentee he wanted a closer look at the tinny rack. I imagine he is cooking up is own version, kinda can't believe they hadn't tried this already seeing as they love their dingy derby so much
@@christurner68 patriot are the busiest bunch of fellas in the business. They have not designed anything new in a couple of years simply because the back log on existing products is ridiculous. The simple fact that Justin opened up the powder booth to powder coat someone else's work is amazing, unless you take into count the item to be coated, a one off custom, lightweight, removable dingy rack, that is easily and cheaply replicatable and also litteraly bolts perfectly onto his top selling trailer. Yer I'm fairly sure he had a very good look, because undeniably it is a very good idea
@@jarradblair1793 even though it can bolt the trailer is not designed to an oversized load like that. And like mat said the tyre carrier was not rated to take the engine but did it anyway.. I already went down this path with patriot and said no on both occasions.
@@christurner68 hugeload? you realise how light a tinny is right? Yes the out board on the back is not a good idea. Patriot have not and will not do custom work, they are essentially a factory, you can only customise the layout with existing patriot options. They don't have time for making custom one off ideas, but having one turn up that functions and is litterally about to r+d itself on RUclips it is a win win. They would be stupid not to have a close look at it
Setup looks shmick but the boat could have gone truck & tent on trailer for those hard to get into fishing spots, just a thought 👍 enjoy & I look forward to the trip
You should have designed the cradle the boat sits in to unbolt put a Axle and wheels under it a little cheeky drawbar and off you go anywhere and leave your camp setup
Sick little set up, hope it works out well for you! Keen to see what you take it on. Please make sure you get a good cover for the boat motor on the back if you don't have one already! the red dust will eat that motor alive on the tracks.
Hey Matt, looks good but why on earth wouldn’t you have gone the Trackabout- they’re built for it including the boat rack… We bought a Trackabout after watching your show and seeing Lane take it all over the place, and your demonstration of it. Our first trip was down the googs track, the trailer faired better than the car, didn’t miss a beat Trackabout has a amazing kitchen, with hot water plumbed to the sink, air bag set up, All the bells and whistles- why wouldn’t ya
@@glennlobban9760 That’s not true we had a choice of either mate and we decided to tack the patriot to try something new 👌 I want to keep towing different styles of campers and vans. Allows us to pick up what works and what doesn’t from some of the best in the game. Trackabout is a beast and a epic product but we didn’t need the canvas top and bed setup just wanted storage so this was a better fit. Plus we like building things that haven’t been done before 👌
@@glennlobban9760 What a load of shit. You think Patriot gave it to him? You’re off your head. Patriot already are the leading brand in Australia, they are a premium product that everyone has heard of. No chance in hell Matt got this for free.
As an ally fabricator, them front tinny guides won't last long. They need to be run down the side of that 3mm SHS. If one does fail with the way it's strapped on that tinny is going fwd. Make sure you run a strap at the back of tinny to stop it going fwd.
Mate, in the top end you may need to share the rooftop with Nat in croc country as they will get a camper out and drag them to their lair in a shake of the stick!
Why didn’t you go with a track-a-bout trailer which was designed to do exactly what you need? Don’t flip the trailer and what out for the death wobbles not you have overload the rear of the trailer.
Cool setup, I would 100% check the front of that boat won’t hit the back of the 79 I’ve had what looks like a bigger gap between a trailered load and it hit the back of my 79
Hey bois you probs won't see this being an old video but how did the camper hold up with the added weight on the roof? I have a patriot and looking at a similar design
Hey mate it actually did really well! Was the perfect setup for the trips we did with it - only thing was it being a bit more top heavy but it didn’t stop us. Check out our cape York and Northern Territory videos from last year to see it in action🤙🏼
@@theexplorelife thanks heaps, I watched those vids and you definitely put it through its paces! I've heard horror stories of people ripping the rivets holding the roof racks on our so just wanted to check. Cheers for the vids allways entertaining and keep having fun lads!
That truly is the perfect set up in the trailer option. Stoked to see some remote, hard track off road content again , especially with Nav in the mix!
Pretty Awsome to see a completely different setup.
Only thing I’d try with boat would be the mozzie loader style setups. That way boats always setup ready to rock, outboard has a home an also have a trailer for boat on hand
Good setup. Have towed my Patriot across the Simpson Desert and up the Tele track and it was flawless 👌
That’s a mad setup. Spare wheel is going to be a mission to get to if you ever need it.
Look mint man .
& grate to hear mr Nav man is back
That is the best compact but fully equipped set up I’ve ever seen!
Congrats mate.
Enjoy
Killer set up keen to see this new series with nav
Hey mate looks good and well done, I have an X1 and PCOR gear and it has been to the tele track 4 times and Arnham land a few too. One thing though…… that 270 awning will need to go champ as you are not going to get the full ‘270’ with the boat on. Try the darche 180.
Let’s be honest majority of the time the tinny is off whilst at camp,
I was thinking the same thing 😂
Came here to say the same!
Interesting place to put the motor i would not have though of that one, I have my motor on the draw bar but with your setup poses a problem getting to the front box but everything is a comprimise as you have been learning along the way, Love the vids and the explore life crew
Looks like a great set up but if that's a 270 awning, you'll have to take the tiny off to open the awning. Looks like a good base for the boys trip 👌
We have an Opus OP4 with a tinny on top. The rack folds off to the side with the tinny attached so you can leave it on with the camper fully set up. There's also a video of it doing the Tele Track and gunshot as well. Heaps of space, heaps of storage and it's massive with a fully enclosed annexe.

Where’d you get the bracket done?
So stoked to see Nav again!!!!! Yeewwww
We are heading up the old Tele track in September, will be towing our Opus OP4 with the family. Can’t wait to see your videos
Sic dude, congrats, can’t wait to see you guys up in Arnhem Land, that place is epic…The, 70, X1N and tinny will be mint fishing the best spots alone no camper vans dam she will be good. Enjoy 🤘
Nice. Room for Patriot Campers to do their own factory version for the tinnie & outboard.
As soon as you showed their super ram tow rig i knew it was patriot camper and I absolutely you and them
Bruder exp 4 Matt that would’ve been the go, if you got coin, but you’ve gone to the right guys for a tough and good looking camper enjoy the Top End mate,Joe
What a mint set up. Can’t wait to watch episodes each week.

Love to see you guys doing a trip with Brodie from Youngbloods 🤙
Love this episode Thank you.. love the ideas you have with the trailer and camper with the tinny. I wasnt a fan of the vision and the patriot camper until you those changes lol. also where is the misses at? Looking forward to the next adventure. ✌
Think you made the perfect choice mate. Exactly what I would be towing.
So lucky guys! Patriot camper is our dream!
Mint Mate, just mint.
Should have stuck with Trackabout and you wouldn’t need to mess around worrying how you would fit a tinnie on!
Very true
I said the same, maybe another fallout?
@@christurner68 does he do any work with the bash plate guy from the original episodes?
Using a X1N to tow the tinny seems a little pointless when you have many of its features on the 79 already.
It's all about the look 🤔
Didn’t’ t know why he didn’t support his buddies trailer with the built in tiny rack. Maybe he had a fall out with him as well
?
@@christurner68 Who else did he have a fallout with?
@@christurner68 what sponsors has he fallen out with before?
No fallouts team. Still love the trackies and we were going to work with them again but you guys have seen us tow it to the Tele already. We wanted to try something new and see if we could make it work
awesome that nav is coming back cant wait to see future eps mate
Welcome to Cairns, tinny setup looks good!
Sick set up! Only thing I'd be worried about is departure angles for the tinnie motor rest is sick
Nice choice Matty, you guys are gonna have a sik venture. Remember to take a pair of pneaumatic wheels, saves you a skull drag mate.
Should put some poly pipe along the outside of the top box to hold your fishing rods. Don’t have to worry about them breaking in the main storage box then 👌
Awesome camper setup 👌 really looking forward to watching the new shows keep up the good work
awesome setup mate, hope to see you down the limestone coast again
That looks killer! We have a 21ft van and love it but the X1N is on the bucket list for those quick weekend getaways in the high country (can see the snow from the front door)
Awesome set up mate
We had a good wet up in Darwin a lot of water still around which means should be good fishing in Arnhem land.
That look epic can’t wait to see this trip yeeew
Bloody mint 🤙🏼love it
I drove past and saw you parked out the front of the Innsifail Subway with this trailer on. I would have stopped in for a chat but I was working lol
What a great set up, you really do have no excuses now. Can't wait to follow these adventures, "Let's Go!'" ha ha ha
Is this legit?

45k and you still got to carry a swag somewhere? Or you and Nav sharing the roof top tent? Anyway Keep up the good work guys looking forward to watching your adventures north 👌
Depends what your after mate! We didn’t want a tent 😂
Should hook up with Nate from Wild Reaches and head north for a epic trip- you have got the right gear now 👍
Great set up for a boys trip 🙂 just make sure you pack plenty of beers

Hi I have the X1N and with a RTT and fully loaded camper weighs 1100-1200kg. The Tinny would only weigh as much as a RTT.
Looks brilliant mate!! 👌🏻
Hahaha yer I bet Justin found some room in the powder coating line-up. Gurentee he wanted a closer look at the tinny rack. I imagine he is cooking up is own version, kinda can't believe they hadn't tried this already seeing as they love their dingy derby so much
They wouldn’t do it, I have asked before. You would also need to redesign the whole trailer.

I would have chased a Johnnos step up with swing over boat rack and motor holder.
Awesome setup mate that would be sick to do adventures in 👍
Setup looks shmick but the boat could have gone truck & tent on trailer for those hard to get into fishing spots, just a thought 👍 enjoy & I look forward to the trip
How about a duel swing arm set up at the back 1 for obviously the wheel and other for out bord 👌
Seen you guys come through Mossman just before lunch today, enjoy the trip
You should have designed the cradle the boat sits in to unbolt put a Axle and wheels under it a little cheeky drawbar and off you go anywhere and leave your camp setup
nice setup that air suspension is awesome that Patriot going to be more comfortable than the 79 😂
Absolutely legend let's go! Can't wait for the trip
Trailer actually does look awesome……(still love the trackabout tho bro😉)
Nice setup, what made you choose the Patriot over the trackabout?
Maybe a fallout or heavy discount from patriot to show their rubbish. I see nothing but problems with this setup!
Looks awsome and so cool! Make Patriot Campers to bring it as an option fpr the X1N on the market, will be a success! cheers mate!
That’s is awesome mate looks so good
Fully sick!!!
cool setup there, love this company and their quality is off the hook..cheers
I am so jealous of this setup
Looks great mate. Looking forward to the new series.
Sick little set up, hope it works out well for you! Keen to see what you take it on.
Please make sure you get a good cover for the boat motor on the back if you don't have one already! the red dust will eat that motor alive on the tracks.
Absolutely mint 👌👌👌should be an option from factory!
Finally this is amazing my favourite Brand and one of the top gents in the industry..So excited,X3.😂😂That green gives it away..
Will be a patriot accessory soon . Great setup will work great

Looks mints and hella practicall😮💨
Good stuff Matty
See ya at bramwell st bud
Mate, in the top end you may need to share the rooftop with Nat in croc country as they will get a camper out and drag them to their lair in a shake of the stick!
Looking fresh as mate! I was thinking Patriot Hybrid Caravan, surely they have designed/ built one by now. 😂🤝
Maybe next 😂
How good! 🤙🏽
bonjournice to meet you,like it! you uploadded useful done,

Check that wrap around awning to see if it still works the way it should mate.
Bit late now, but maybe I would have put the roof top tent on top of the trailer and the boat on the 79, either way looks great, enjoy the trip mate.
That was my thought too and the outboard in the car as well.
Awesome stuff, Mite see you up there, My son and I are doing the Cape, the gulf and up to Nhulunbuy,
say g'day if you see us! enjoy your trip 🤙
say g'day if you see us! enjoy your trip 🤙

Will the awning be able to fully open with the tinnie on the roof?

Wow amazing set up ❤️👍
"Bits n' pieces" drinking game: Blackout drunk @ 9 in 20 mins ;)
Looks mint BTW!
love it mate!, cant wait to see how it goes
Sick Setup!!
Lanes should of hooked you up with a trackabout
Cant wait
Possibly swap the 270 degree awning for a 180 degree awning so least if it's raining your not cooking in the pissing down rain.
Would be ideal ran out of time 😂🤦
Just get Navs to hold the umbrella for ya 😂🤣
