In my case yes, but not all cases, and as I have a smart alternator, I’m finding driving with dcdc isn’t as reliable as solar… but each setup will vary.

Thank you....still working on it. lol

Go about 30 sec in and you will see what i mean.

Yes, I saw some horror stories about using them while towing. Weight is a concern and chassis reinforced crossed my mind… also changing the rear axel….will be monitoring and maybe upgrades to come I guess.

@@overlandtheworld Plenty of snaping here in Oz, on all twin cab Utes regardless of make with just canopies. In the paper work from Alu-Cab it is recommended to brace the chassis, I haven't yet, but it's always on my mind and I obviously try and keep my weight as forward as possible. It would be a real shit way to end your trip!! Anyway have fun Guys, just wanted to make sure you were aware of a potential fail point.

Yep, I get it. Will be watching for sure.

Yes, it can look a little daunting .... there is also a danger that you can change things that you shouldn't, I'm no expert but narrowed down what I wanted to do... it took a little time investigating where these were myself.... Will look at adding this info in the description this week and hopefully that will help in your case.

Thanks May, as long as Julia has space to bake cakes, then I’m good 😀

Possible, even though I agree the efficiency might be improved, you wont find many going down that route as it highers the risk. My diesel heater exhaust is directed stright down underneath the truck. In some countries, the states for example, they have health and safety checks on any campervan/rv installs... Maybe if the heat exchanger was under truck? ...possible in theory I think. My heat exchanger deliberately uses the clean warm air inside the truck.

Another 2 years… ummmm… let me think on that 🤣🤣🤣

Hey Carol, I wish…. But Julia doesn’t make Welsh cakes anymore 😂😂.

😂😂😂🥰

33 inch… just a little cosmetic work to make them fit, but they are cool.

Julia is obviously astonished by what she sees me do, well either shock or horror ...lol

Thank you for your feedback, will take on board about music and specific information. In this case, the 50L tank feeds to a 7 stage filter system via a small 12v pump. The filter system is an isolated unit bought online, linked the pump into the feed from the tank and added an isolated switch for the pump. I will try and add more detail in a later video, add the specs etc.

@@overlandtheworld Thank you very much for your information 😊🙏

Currently Malaysia, will be for a few months, January will be Thailand, March in Cambodia, April in Laos...China then the stans after that....;)

@@overlandtheworld that's Awesome I will be following your journey as I start mine 😃

Hopefully, Julia will keep things in the same place....it does change around, whatever she says...;)

Ah yes, the crusher… running out of space, but who knows… maybe find a little place somewhere.🤣

Sounds like a plan 😃

Yep, in the full video we have added the bikes to the truck as a test for overlanding. In this video you hear the noise that suggest the bike rack is moving… meaning we may not be able to take bikes with us on our world trip…. We really want to take our bikes with us.

Such a good question...we do have a.... lets say...toilet ....., we will be doing a video about this with other conveniences soon..:)

Hi, this is Willow Tree in Cherating. Worth a visit ..:)

Looks lovely, so quiet too!

Hi Tom, if we make it down there, we will let you know.

​@overlandtheworld sure can. I m using rtt too. Me n wife Hope to meet u . Can camp together 😊

Hi, yes, it’s always a concern, thankfully we have a few friends and contacts in a few countries. Plus, we don’t intend to take too many risks.

Hey my friend… you are def speaking from experience and it’s well noted. Glad to see you are safely in Armenia. Been quite a journey since you left in April.

it does, but not significantly, around 25% saving by 12v, I guess if your Starlink is not powered 100% of the time then this option may not be for everyone.

Hi Glyn, yes, we are worried about this too. the small adaptor and hitch steps sounds good in practice, not sure how it will last in theory. I think the bikes will stay, will be stored inside in shipping and long routes, but guess we will soon find out, is this idea expedition ready or just weekend touring when needed...hmmmm.

@@overlandtheworld The step on its own is an awesome addition, I made one a few weeks ago for my hitch receiver, the wife and I love it, before I was carrying a milk crate to stand on. you'll work it out mate, what works and what doesn't when you start doing a few trips in it.

Thank you! 👍

Thank you Jayne, still a lot to learn, but should be amazing, however cold, wet and hungry we get ...lol

We are of course already following yours… watching, learning and sooo jealous. Heard you not feeling 100% hope you feel better soon.

That's cool Gwyn, but be prepared as I am sure it wont always go well .... lol ... may need to be rescued..... not easy at our age.

@@overlandtheworld like many other people I intend to be waiting for you when you reach your final destination. Just keep the videos coming as it is such a pleasure to see you both planning what is for many people, a far off dream. Inspirational.

Hi Mike, do you know a specific landmark that our navigation might identify?... Not sure it recognises whether that is a known tourist spot ... lol

The world famous, recently renamed, Courtney Lawes Lift Tower - 88th wonder of the world!

I have to say yes because it will give wind protection, but you may need ‘skirts’ to go around the bottom of the truck to stop a low draft.

Yes it's tricky...apply for visa 3 months in advance, need a guide with itinerary, need temp driving license and register the car with the Chinese authorities. Thankfully found an agent that can help, obviously comes with a cost, but this kind of travelling will always do that regardless.

@@overlandtheworld I've heard similar stories, sounds like a pain! How much freedom do you get with the guide?

Unsure… will let everyone know next April… a 27D crossing is planned, but includes Tibet so should be good.

@@overlandtheworld I look forward to following the journey! 👌 😀
