There is a place in Kynton Vic. that offers an aluminum frame for the rear door flyscreen on this Tommy Camper, which puts the flyscreen back a bit from the current position and uses the screen you already have. I think it is called House of Hoon....Look it up
A great morning to you sir & the better half. Been watching a few of your videos cruising the outback & I find it very interesting & educational. So I thought it would be wise to subscribe to your channel, for further education & entertainment plus I get to see places that I've never been. Yet.! I will be turning 65 and one guess what I will be doing!? I did some travelling when I was young and this time around it will be like reminiscing. Now my 2 cent worth: As for the light in the bed area, may I suggest you get those small portable battery operated lights, ones that you can either stick it where you need them ( adhesive or magnets) atleast if it's not permanently fixed you have a choice to where you require them to be. Most of them have multiple coloured light bulbs, if not some colourful cellophane will do the trick, that "no bugs" coming in.! As for that screen door, it's a great idea to cut a slit so it can go around the hydraulic poles (great mind thinks alike). I would suggest you use magnets so the two cut ends sticks together giving a tight fit, the bugs would have to have a turbo charged wings to get through the screen. Those hydraulic poles can be adjusted if it's in the way of the awnings. I think it's awesome what you have done to improve the Tommy. I am very sure all manufacturers are watching your channel, under a different subscriber name...of course! Anyway sir, you've got yourself a new sub & fans. We will be following you & your adventures. Have a brilliant & adventurous journey & safe travel. Thank you for sharing. Sincere greetings from Christmas Island.
The back door strut would probably be better placed outside the door. Then it would not interfere with the fly screen. My rooftop tent has its struts on the outside and it works a treat. I much prefer it to my previous RTT which had the struts on the inside.
Hey Wayne! How are you mate? I was just wondering if I could come take a look at your S4x? I'm in North Brisbane. Seriously thinking about getting one but unfortunately Tommy campers are in Victoria now. I thought they were in Hervey bay. I would really appreciate if we can get chatting! Been following you for ages. Love your unbiased content! Regards Chris
Interesting, I note one of your answers re weight was 3400 kg, is that fully loaded with full tanks etc. I’ve been quoted on an upgrade of gvm to 3670 , doesn’t leave much leeway, is that enough ?? Also are they still in business, I’ve been unable to contact them.
The Mahindra has a GVM of 3150, not to sure what empty on road weight is? If it’s around the 2200 like some of the others you’ll be fine. That said it’s only a 2.2 ltr so power may be an issue.
@@SlideOnCampingAustralia I think the word he means is 'Rubbish'. While I disagree that it's rubbish, it is a bit too expensive for me and I'll stick with the homemade version. It's a catch-22, I suppose. The company doesn't sell enough to drop the price and still make, but lots of people can't afford the price so the customer base won't expand.
Enjoy the enthusiasm and passion, I'm currently setting up my S4 and this vid has been beneficial, thanks.
Glad you liked it. Good luck with your new TC.
I like what you’ve done. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. Glad you liked it.
Looks good. With the rear door you may be able to mount the gas strut on the outside, so the fly screen will work ok.
Maybe. Thinking I may have a solution for its current position.

Yep, already have. Looks great.
Great vid!
Thanks Bianca
Lift up door gives some weather protection. I'm interested to see that awning.
Agree. There will be a setup and first impressions video regarding the awning in the next few weeks.

Thanks Unfi. Glad you liked it. See you on the road one day.
Hi Wayne, what are the dimensions of the foyer. Is it big enough for 2 people to sit and eat a meal please? Great video, thank you.
The S4 isn’t. It’s good for one at a time. The s6 and s8 are easily big enough
Hi Wayne, what is the actual standing space from the end of the bed to the back of the canopy? About 1200mm?

Agree.
Looks great but lucky for you still some work to do.
Yep. Thanks for watching

Hi, how do they work with the Mahindra double cab 4x4 pickups?

Hi How heavy is the canopy
Canopy only is 315kg.
What's the weight of the camper
Interesting
Thanks Annie
how's the weight?
3400kg. Needed a GVM.
Like the video just need to work on the sound
Thanks Dean
Badly designed rubbis and I'm sure it costs as much as the ute. I've never seen anyone get ripped off as much as Australian consumers
Not sure what Rubbis is. Sorry FL.

@@Here_is_Waldo what is the price?
