BUDGET CANOPY SETUP (Light Weight 4x4 Setup for Camping)

We thought we had the perfect 4x4 setup for camping and touring/overlanding Australia but realistically she was just a bit too heavy. We are back on the road but this time in a new light weight canopy setup, let discuss why we have decided to make this change, let’s look at our old set up and we will show you guys how we fitted out the new budget canopy setup creating our ultimate 4x4 setup for camping.

Thanks! We are 3 and a bit weeks into our trip and giving her a good test, a couple of things to tweak have popped up but loving it.

Morning and welcome to the comments😊 yes I do have a trade background but not doing this. Just learning as I go and having a blast. 🤙🤙🤙 thanks for your comment 👍

[@outbacknomad9939]

Absolutely love the canopy build my only concern would be where you put the backing washers on the threw bolts on the inside to hold the wheel on I'd be putting a peace of box section in mate I think the back mite crack around the washers from corrugations or just forces on the sheet alloy I think it will fatigue. Sorry to have a winge great episode .the old patrol looks mint

[@4solitude4S]

Thanks for the suggestion, might have to look at adding some reinforcement just to be safe. 👍

Hey guys, wat a great setup 👍can I ask where you got the shower awning bracket from?

[@4solitude4S]

The brand is Kimberley 2 Cape. Just google them. Thanks we love our new setup😀

[@rifetturcinovic2516]

Awesome exactly what I need. Do you think it would be worth insulating the canopy? Great job

[@4solitude4S]

Thanks mate, we haven’t seen a need to insulate it as yet, you could always consider putting a canopy vent in if your concerned about the heat.

[@unitedstates3068]

what are the light switches with dimmer?

[@4solitude4S]

They are the HARD KORR brand. The switch comes pre wired as a plug and play with there strip lights. 👍

[@marcodimeglio6667]

What is the brand of the water tank ??

[@4solitude4S]

It’s a 70L brand is Camec got it from outback equipment. Just make sure you use all food grade fittings and hoses. I didn’t on my last canopy and it tasted like plastic. So this time used brass fittings and no plastic taste

[@marcodimeglio6667]

@@4solitude4S ok thanks for the advice

[@farllon]

your canopy will crack @ all hinge area for sure. looks not strong, 😅

[@4solitude4S]

I hope not 😢 My last canopy made by the same company had it for 10 year with no issues, so hopefully this one will be the same. I will definitely keep an eye on it and let everyone know if issue arise
