G'day Cam, one thing you have kept consistent throughout all of your build/setup vids (which I really dig) is "this is what suits my purpose" your honesty is evident in everything you present. You never suggest something without explaining why you have selected a certain product and thats why the subscriber base is growing, keep up the awesome work mate
Cheers Phil, appreciate the kind words/feedback mate! 👍🏼
@@WildTouring Honestly mate, they are well earned, with the amount of people preaching about things for the sake of a deal/sponsorship, I would be taking your advice before some others...
@@philsymons9614 cheers mate!
I reckon I’ll do a vid with Tiff one day chatting about some of the realities of TH-cam and sponsorship/bias for us. I reckon the way we’ve gone about it would surprise a few people.
Got a 2500 watt inverter supplied and installed by these guys into my 19.6 outback van. Highly recommend for professionalism by the whole team. 👌
Great sponsor to have on board!✔️
Great fit out in the tub, built in quality from the get go, it will give you peace of mind.
Good to see that you have moved to the square/rectangular frypans. So much better for space usage
Yeah loving them! Fit perfectly in the travel buddy too!
Awesome canopy build and an amazing electrical fitout, Cam. It does not just look amazing but meets your build brief. Keep working on the love for the induction cooktop, one less fuel source to worry about, greater control over cook temps and yes, unaffected by blowing WA gales. The All Spark solar blanket looks great, keeps the tinny on the roof and extra weight out of your setup.
Your honesty is still refreshing and soooo appreciated, your supporter base is growing in reflection of that honesty and diversity of topics you cover. And also keeping things in the realm of fiscally achievable for the average person/family. All the best to yourself, Tiff, Chloe and Percy (and the new little Wild on the way (?)), thanks for more great episodes on everything that keeps you getting away and sharing what you get up to when you get there. Cheers.
Thank you! I really do appreciate the kind words and the support!
Definitely going to persist with the induction cooktop for a while to give it a fair go, as you said- there’s plenty of positives!
Good video Cam... on your advice to me a while ago i went and saw Jason at All Spark... we had a chat and told him what i wanted and he advised a system to suit... Pretty much exactly the same as yours but i have 2x100 Batteries... and roof solar... Absolutely thrilled with my result and cooking on the induction is great... Ill come say g'day to you at the show mate...
That’s great to hear!
Cheers mate, see you then!
In the intro you guys looked like off-road super heroes with your hands on your hips , just need a couple of capes lol. Great video cam
😂 offroad super heroes- hell yeah haha!!
Thanks Cam, we’re over in March so will talk to all sparks then. Thanks again, always informative 👏
No worries mate, they’ll sort you out 👍🏼
Missed this one for so.e reason. But great vid and i formative. Good to see real trades apply their trade.
Cheers Chris, yeah they do great work! Top blokes too.
Nice set-up Cam, looking fwd to the DHI vid. too. Went there myself in April/May this year. GREAT trip. See you at the show - Peter V.
Great fit out! So many ideas for my build out!
Hi Cam! Fantastic rebuild of the Dmax! extraordinary work! Congratulations! Greetings from Paraguay!
Wondering if there’s a good one-stop shop like this in Melbourne 🤔
THANK YOU FOR SHARE THE VIDEO
Looking awesome buddy,
Mate super clean setup, love it! Nice work
Cam thanks for video and nice setup 👍👍👍
I’ve run my enerdrive output back to busbars...by doing this, you can harness the solar input as well as the batteries max continuous in the middle of the day...which will enable you to increase the inverters usable capacity.
Yeah good idea Paul 👍🏼
Great video mate 👍. Will see you at the Perth Show👌
Cheers mate, see you then!
Great vid can't wait for your next one on the battery all way learning ☺️🍻
Great set up. Jealous! This canopy build is coming up sweeeeet
Hated watching this! Makes me realise the amount of work I need to do on my 4wd, basically a whole re-wire, lithium batteries , dcdc charger, solar panel….etc. $8k+ 😩. 👍
Yeah it’s a big job and decent chunk of change done right. But so worth it for reliability and longevity if you can justify it for your situation!
I just wired up my caravan with 1.2KW solar, 340Ah Lithium, 85A AC/DC charger / 4kW inverter/ automatic change over switch. 50A DC/DC charger and it cost me 6k. Granted I did the work myself but lithium systems are getting somewhat affordable in relation to what they used to be.
I can run my AC on the coldest setting all day, whilst also using my microwave and any other electrical load in the caravan with no worries now. Very happy with it.
Very nice mate
A better antennae on the Cel Fi Go does make a difference. While went for the magnetic base which looks a bit like a shark fin and have it on the corner of the dash and it works a treat and extends the signal well beyond the car and caravan. The small one that usually comes with the kit is not much good.
Cheers mate, I’ll have a look at that, be nice to have signal from the van too. I’m more concerned about the incoming antenna though. I’d like to get more range from towns/towers.
@@WildTouring The aerial I have is a Blackhawk Trucker Edge Compact Antenna which so far has been impressive. I have only had the setup a short while and only used it around the south west and last week went to the Stirling Ranges up through Red Gum Pass Road in the middle of the ranges and still got 4 bars. I have it mounted on the rear of the roof rack.
@@zoezoe610 heard good things about Blackhawk antennas, and that’s probably the way I’ll go. Never had dramas with signal in the South West either, it’s up north in the Pilbara and the Kimberley between towns where we found it useless. But I’ll have a crack at improving it with some better antennas before I give up on it!
Sick rig mate👍
Hey cam great video love the whole set up the system we got off Jason hasn’t missed a beat similar to yours
On the road full time March next year will be in wa in oct hope to cross paths with you and the family and have a beer stay safe mate
Cheers Rick. Glad to hear Jason sorted you out 👍🏼 have a great trip mate!
Love it
Great video 🇦🇺👍
Awesome 👌👌
Cheers
Hey cam…u mentioned your were havin issues with ur celfi go and was gonna be tryin different antenna etc etc…would love to see a video about it to help myself and others to get a better signal
Cheers
Cheers Wayne, I may do mate. I’ll see how I go with the changes!
The only bad thing about the PDP lights is the price! I rate them very highly but a Toyota price tag. Chosen well!
Yeah they’re pricier than most, nice unit though!
i saw you heading north to Shark bay i waved you never
Sorry I missed you mate, how’d you go up there? Been bloody windy hey!
Love your videos and this is a great build.
Just wondering what brand of induction cooktop you have used?
Thanks
Dan
Shish Cam, you making me jealous. I now have a urge to go and spend a #hit load of cash at this business. Love the workshop filming and your honesty in everything is for your purpose...
Cheers Mark
😂 cheers Mark. It’d be money well spent mate!
Hey mate can you do a video on the cost of the fit out
I probably won’t do a vid on it, but all of the prices of the 12v components are on Offroad Livings website, or you could contact them for a quote. www.offroadliving.com.au
Same deal with everything from thunderfab, they list prices/weights/dimensions for everything that’s on my car on their website
www.thunderfab.com.au
Thanks for the content. Curious to know why the DCDC circuit breaker is next to the DCDC opposed to the cranking battery?
There is circuit protection at both ends. A 50a midi fuse straight off the cranking battery, and a circuit breaker at the DCDC charger end. 👍🏼
Whats with the long pants Cam? I'm not used to change haha. Great vids mate
😂 bloody cold that morning!! Cheers Scott 👍🏼
awesome. so are you finding the one battery is enough to power the cook top, I want to use one, but keep getting mixed reports on battery consumption.
Yes if you take a look at my recent dirk hartog trip video I did quite a bit of cooking on the induction cooker and battery consumption wasn’t an issue 🙂
Great video Cam very informative. Did you choose the Allspark slimline lithium battery as your power source ? For space saving purposes.
Nah with my setup the standard 150ah fit my space better!
Cam, where is your video regarding the Cel-fi ? I don't recall seeing it and I can't find it searching. I just installed one in my rig and sorting out which antenna to run with it. Cheers
Haven’t done a specific video on it, spoke about it a few times in our WA lap videos and I think it came up in one of our Q&A videos. Never really rated it previously but I think I wasn’t using the right antenna.
Looks like a great set-up.
Do you have any vents in the canopy because of the heat built up inside
Cheers mate, nah no vents.
Cam, How do you find the heat build up or dissipation from your 12 volt oven ? do you find the roof mounts good with air gaps all round the oven ?
Every side other than the door is really well insulated. It’s working well 👍🏼
The only thing I'm not all on board with is the 100a breaker for the Anderson.
It looks just like a regular 50a Anderson. Why wouldn't you fit a higher capacity Anderson in its place?
50A andersons are rated for 120amp current use, 50A is their 'hot' disconnect safe current
@@andyday133 right. Thank you. I actually had checked the specs myself after i posted this. 50a just refers to got disconnect as you mentioned and rated from plug to PCB if integrated. Cheers.
Cheers @@andyday133, Was trying to remember the reasoning because I remember initially asking you the same thing 😆
Hey mate, you may have done a video already on it, but how do you find the air compressor you use? What one is it? Cheers
It’s a dual piston ARB compressor. Early days but so far it’s been good! Pretty expensive though. The old $99 XTM compressor it replaced lasted me a couple of years and was just as fast.
Does your compressor wire straight to your lithium main terminals? Am thinking of hard wiring as well. Am assuming that if car is running it would give 70a from lithium and then 40a from alternator through the dc2dc charger to drive the compressor?
It’s hardwired to the fuse block (each piston has its own fuse). So it is running off the lithium. When the compressors going with the engine running it would be assisting it with some current. But my batteries good for 175a continuous, so the 68a max from the compressor doesn’t worry it (engine on or off).
Looks awesome 👍👍 a quick question, are you running the ARB compressor off the Lithium or start battery?
Cheers mate, yeah running the air compressor direct off the lithium. I wouldn’t do that with any lead acid or many other brand lithium batteries. But the Allspark will pump out 175a max continuous discharge , and my compressor draws 68a at full whack.
Do you carry a spare alternator on your longer trips Cam? Seems this set up, awesome as it is may have the achilles heel 🤷
I’d have bigger issues than no hot dinner if the alternator failed on me, they don’t run for long without one. Not like the good old mechanical injection diesels unfortunately.
But nah, don’t carry a spare. Don’t have the GVM to carry it all!!
@@WildTouring Depends on the remoteness of the trip hey...for the right trip I'd sacrifice 2 six-packs weight for some charge ability :)
Some days I love my cel-fi go, other days I think I'm better of standing on the roof with my phone.
Haha that’s exactly how I feel! Often I’ll have nothing on the celfi, but I can walk 10ft up a small sand dune and get a bar on my phone.
hey mate , what did you set up cost roughly, I know I won't need as much as you but heading over to Perth next year wondering if it's gonna be better to wait to get canopy and electrical done there or do it while I'm in Sydney
All their prices for parts are on their website;
www.offroadliving.com.au
But roughly
$1500 for 150ah battery
$480 dcdc charger
$310 battery monitor
+ fuse panel, circuit breakers, Anderson plugs, terminals, wiring, solar, labour ect..
Shoot them a msg on social media, email or give them a bell. If you tell them what you want they’ll be able to give you a price on supply or supply and fit 👍🏼
Do you run a step up reg on your 12v oven..
Nah I don’t, I get a slightly higher voltage over a lead acid setup due to running lithium. But I may look into a step up in the future.
Hey cam great video what brand is your induction cooker ?
And yes my name is genuine 😂
Haha cheers mate. It’s a 1800w Safiery induction stove.
@@WildTouring I just brought one for my canopy, now I’m spewing I didn’t get this one, I think I’ll just have to buy another one now. Does it have brackets to hold it down to the table draw?
What about the EMF and EMR?
My understanding is that Induction cooktops emit low to mid range non-ionizing radiation. Which cannot change cell structure, is non cumulative and not harmful (unless you have a pacemaker).
@@WildTouring thanks. I was thinking more the battery, wifi signal booster and other electrical components but i suppose its something that you cant get around.
Hows the Pedders GVM upgrade going mate?
Brilliant mate, no complaints.
Cheers mate😁. Loving the new mods on the rig. Looks soo good
Very schmick
