4 MONTHS LIVING IN OUR 79 SERIES LANDCRUISER & ROOF TOP TENT Review & Walkthrough- THE TRUTH (110)

- WOW! We’ve been living in our LANDCRUISER (79 Series) and ROOF TOP TENT for 4 months so it’s about time we did an HONEST REVIEW on how it’s going, pros and cons, what’s working, what’s NOT WORKING and THE TRUTH on whether we will keep this setup for when we TRAVEL THE GLOBE. We do a full walkthrough (setup tour) of the vehicle discussing what we like and what we don’t as we go.
We feel like we can give an honest opinion because we’ve been living in our tiny home on wheels full time for the last for months as we TRAVEL AUSTRALIA OVERLAND.

Great video, we enjoyed seeing your gear and where you pack everything. Well done!
Thank you, hope you have a great week 🤩
For the back of the car, you could try a hard bottom dog bed/cover, that will give you more room as the hard bottom will extend out over the seat. You then can try good old fashion plastic storage draws without taking out the back seat.
Thanks for your ideas, sounds good. We will certainly look into other options, cheers 👍🤩
Oh good one you answered all my questions 😂😂😂.
Awesome 🤩…thanks for watching 👍
A very good overview of your setup . We admire you for travelling in this manner although we do realise and have watched all your travels with your caravan . Unlike some viewers we do get your banter and thoroughly enjoy it , adds humour to your videos . Will be really be interested in what is next for you both with your travels . ???? An Oka !!!!!!
Thank you so much, glad you get our humour. I think said person has never watched our videos so we’re not too bothered by their comment. An Okka sounds interesting, we’re definitely keeping all our options open, really not sure at all what we’re going to do 👍🤩
I missed this video it’s just what we need to watch as our hire company hasn’t done a video on there rooftop campers so thanks guys 🤗 also didn’t know something else is in the pipeline with travelling somewhere Else which is awesome 🙌🏻 thanks guys 🤗
Hi Guys, glad you found this helpful…Yes, we want to ship a vehicle to Indonesia and drive across the globe, was hoping for late this year but think it’s going to be the start of next year 🤩
@ that’s going to be some trip and probably a logistical nightmare with the paper work….but hey well worth it! so your travelling back home to the uk 😂 I wouldn’t the country is on its knees stay in oz your better off. I’m happy for you guys that your doing some more travelling it’s gunna be one epic adventure I’m sure. Thanks guys your video was very helpful so thank you 🤗 see you on the next video 🙌🏻
@Neil-clare we won't stay in the UK, just travel around then onto somewhere else ... Watch this space
@@turtletrackstravels we’re be watching! 👍🏻
Good stuff 👍, sounds like you need a troopy with a roof conversion 👌
We’re definitely going to look at them as well as some other options….watch this space 😂
@@turtletrackstravelsI hope not.. they are SO boring and unoriginal with every channel doing a troopy.
@MrFastFarmer 😂 …..we might keep what we have yet when we start looking
Thanks! Great advice. I look forward to your posts each week.
Thanks for watching, appreciate it 👍🤩
Exciting times ahead!
When we had the Hilux, we did removed the back seats… it gave us tonnes of space! We use to put the seat back when we were back home!
We are going to look at lots of different ideas, we’ve looked at a few others while we’re on the road but we’re still none the wiser LOL 😂
Thank you
This video has helped us so much
We’re really pleased our video has been helpful for you, thanks for watching 🤩
I'll be sad you guys leave Australia.
Your video are cool .
And you have no idea how much they have help me.
Thank you, keep watching as there’s lots of Australia to come before we head off. Glad to have you following along 🤩
We use a hokey strap (elastic strap with hook at either end) and connect to holes where the gas struts are thread the hand towel through and use elastic band to secure. and use rest of strap to put the tea towels and secure with clothes pegs. :-)
Such a great idea, thanks 🤩
Yes the back seats in a 79 dual cab, or any vehicle, are rarely useful particularly for just a couple. Main reason we chose a 79 single cab as you have better weight distribution over the rear axle and get a larger canopy for all your crap. 😉😁
And we’ve certainly got lots of crap LOL 😂…. Not sure yet which way we’re going to go but we’re going to look at single cabs but not sure if there will be enough leg room 🤩
Great Episode...
Thank you 🤩
So a hidden gem Try the Gundaroo Pub
Where’s that ?
Cool Ep and set up guys
Thank you 🤩
Sounds like an Earth Cruiser is on the cards. Heads up, the wheels are heavy! ;)
They look awesome but yeah you’re right, they’re bloody heavy 😂
Nice one guys, where did you buy the battery powered shower, and that versatile shower mat!
The shower was from Kick Ass, rechargeable lithium battery via USB. Mat was given to us by a friend, it’s just a rubber mat. Cheers for watching 🤩
We added K Mart draws in the back seat for our clothes. Helps to keep them organised and easier access
That sounds like a great idea, thank you 🤩
Expedition style? I have always like the idea of them compared to driving a truck with a big van behind. Look forward to seeing what you go for and where you go. We want to ship our new set up OS and do some travel but not sure we will be able to due to $
Will definitely be going expedition style but not sure what yet… I know what you mean, the $$$$ soon drift away LOL 😂 We look forward to seeing what you do next…
@@turtletrackstravels awesome can’t wait to watch your progress in choosing.
@filthyoffroadadventures thank you 🤩
I bought an On-Tap jerry for the back of my canopy. It holds 20L of water, has an internal pump and used garden hose fittings. Its a great shower or wash-off of dirt/sand/salt. They only cost ~$100
Sounds a great idea, thanks 🤩
Wow you guys been a lot of places in 4 months good insight , I guess a van or truck , I would want inbetween to I couldn’t tow and I would like some wear to hide from bugs or weather
We’re going to keep our options open and take a look at a few different ideas….Thanks for watching 🤩
Great summary of roof top camping for the uninitiated (me).
Glad you enjoyed our video, thanks for watching 🤩
The wire for the fridge, what you need is cable chain.
Thanks for that, will look into it 👍
You can swap the hinges and clips over on the Waeco. Someone makes a cord saver too.
Thanks for that 👍
Do you ever synchronize your Simarine monitor to your Lithium battery when it’s full charged? I do, but my battery blue tooth app shows the battery SOC 5-25% less than the Simarine SOC after a couple of days. Drives me nuts because the BMS on the battery will shutdown when the Simarine shows 50% SOC. I must have an unidentified discharge….
Ours has been fine, the other day i ran it down to 25% and it was still working the fridge fine 👍
