Hi. I recently bought a Metalian Maxi, partly based on your excellent review. However, we opted for the Metalian tent and awning, thinking that it would be the best option as it is custom built by Metalian to fit the trailer. However, we are very unhappy with the Metalian tent. It is not sealed and we had spiders, mosquitoes and other insects in the tent. We are exploring other options,especially the ikamper. Our one concern with other tent/awning combinations is the lack of a seal between the tent and awning, which may allow water to run down the trailer side of the awning and onto the trailers kitchen area. This would make the kitchen and stove unusable in a rain storm. What awning do you have? How did you find it, and what was your solution to keep your trailer kitchen dry in the rain?

This is the best episode by far ❤️. Magic

Hi Just a quick question. What carrier did you use to get your stuff from the US?

Nice vid, thanks. Any issues with heat and dust in the tray? Im looking to do the same.

Thanks for sharing.

Howzit Jay, who do you use to make your bookings at Magotho?

Hi Jay and family, could you please tell me what September is like in Moremi and Khwai . Is there a lot of thick sand? Does a Bush Lapa manage it easily?

Another amazing video

brilliant . thanks so much for sharing

Another amazing video guys, great footage as always!!! Thanks so much for sharing. We are dying to camp at all three places - with any luck in 2025. Any advice for how we book at all 3 places @epicafrica? Wishing you all, peaceful , safe & blessed Festive Season 🎄🛍️☺️🥳

The people at Symthonia are wonderful, as we enjoyed one night there a few years ago on our way back to Windoek. They offer super clean rooms and camping sites as well as a great dining. Will stop in again next trip. Great video as always, keep it coming and stay safe😊

I must say, we have a small Eco River to charge all our cameras, but this is a great solution to add…. I might just add this as additional to our setup….. I really like there produce, including the solar panels…. They out perform all the other brands by far currently

Awesome video Thanks Much appreciated

Thanks nice one again As a family living in Botswana we like your videos especially as you do it as a family

👌👌 awesome. What site number was that at Magotho 👏

Hi die video was baie mooi. Maar die musiek is 👎 sal graag die diere hoor water drink. En mindee jou gesig in die video. Dankie

great vid. I may be going to mabua 01 next year. What camera trap do you use?

Awesome Jay. 7 months and counting and we off to Mapaya for 7 days

Thanks for sharing. Can you book Mogotho camping at Maun?

Thanks for sharing this awsome footage again. Cannot get enough, only problem: want to get back to Botswana asap. Been to Zimbabwe this year , Zambia next year so I will have to wait a bit. What number campsite was that in Mogothlo and what other campsitenumbers can you advice there (secluded and good for predatorsightings)? Merry Christmas, from The Netherlands

You mentioned you had run your Starlink from the Delta 2. I am looking at the Starlink Mini, with the hopes of being able to get out to the bush and still have full signal to allow me to work. I wont be using any big fridges or high usage appliances. With the Starlink / internet connection being my main concern. How long do you think it would be able to run consistently? Another question, do you have any issues using Starlink in SA? I think the Roam plan would be best as you can pause the plan when not needed, is that how you are using it? I'm thinking the Delta 2 would suite my needs better then installing a whole duel battery/ invertor system. Side note, I just watched your video where you mentioned the reasons for selling your Raptor, its such a pity about the fuel consumption. but good buy with the V6, I've recently bought a 2022 Stormtrac which I'm loving! it has a 140w charger in the cab and in the bin, which I would use to charge the battery station instead of the alternator charger. I would also get the solar charger as well if i get the Delta 2. Thanks!

Spending so much money on a well fitted out rig. Then compromise with some temporary power solution? Spend a little more and have a proper 12v system.

Really neat! Thanks for sharing🙌

What is it that you can't use a power inverter

Looks like you have your ecoflow placed in the rear area of the truck. What path did you run the main cable from the engine back to the box of the truck?

You mention coffee machine and a fridge! How long can this system charge a coffee machine and camping fridge - whilst camping/ stationary?! (ie. not 4x4ing/ overlanding) Regards, r

Great review thank you, I have fitted 3 of these already to friends Fj’s. Can I ask did you connect your 800w AC direct to your secondary battery after your DC / DC charger? In the back of your pickup? I am installing my 800w this week but have been reluctant to connect it to my house battery in the cargo space of my Fj due to lack of information available. EcoFlow tech advised me to run to starter battery as they did not have the technical answer connecting to the house battery with DC / DC charger. Connecting it to the house battery obviously saves a long cable route in the vehicle. Your input would be much appreciated.

Also looking at the Alternator Charger as I already have a Delta 2. Want to use it in an off-road trailer though. So run Alternator Charger cable along chassis, cut, fit Anderson plug at tow hitch and connect to trailer and use part of cut-off original cable to again fit to Alternator Charger and Delta 2 in trailer?

All good and all, but let’s talk cycle life. Ecoflow does not have a great cycle life, Compared to a simple lithium battery with inverter setup, with dcdc charger or victron mppt setup. Ecoflow is great for a quick solution, or for those over landers with limited 12/220v experience. I cant justify paying the same price for something that would only give me 500 cycles. Yes the built in wifi is cool. But increase cycle life and I would buy 4. A good lithium battery and bms would give you 4000 to 5000 cycles. That’s 10% of a ecoflows cycle life.

Hi - you have the Wildtrak 3lt v6 which has a 400w inverter in the bak So why would you need the Ecoflow Alternator

great thank you

Great video. I own the Delta 2 and a Ford and looking to get the Alternator Charger. Is it possible if you can share how you ran the cable? Can this also charge the extra battery if you have one?

Great Vid! Thanks for the review - makes this a real option - how do you manage 12v out? Or do you just use the cig lighter?

Nice 😊 content and try to include the Africa sounds on the background

Sincere thanks for one of the most informative videos I have viewed on a support trailer layout, many thanks.

Great design and it fantastic to learn first hand about the individual components. Which awning company provides the lift mechanism? I haven't see it before and would like to know more.

Another great video Jason.

My family and I are planning a trip for September next year. In your opinion, how are the tracks around Moremi and Kwai. Did you ever get stuck towing your Bush Lapa? Would you recommend taking sand tracks? Just love watching you tow your Bush Lapa everywhere with your family.

Very nice, well done! I see you have a Smartcap Canopy, why not mounting it on the inside on 1 of the side doors? When opening it up, it will have a nice angle to it, similar to OEM. But will the signal go through the door? I know Starlink is illegal in SA, but does it work in SA, does it have good coverage?

Long time guys where have you been 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Lions at 21:46 beautiful big cats.

I enjoyed the episode. I cant wait for another make it a bit longer. I also love your vehicle. Watching here in Botswana

This series has E.P.I.C written all over it.. Can't wait to see what unfolds during the rest of the trip. Loving it 👌👌

Epic Adventure 💪🏻

Looked like a great trip. The view is incredible. The lions, wow.

Well done bozza ❤
