OMG, now I can see why you did the canopy walk around! You're selling it! Someone will be able to pick up a bargain at that price. Can't wait to see what you're putting on the back next

I went down the same path with plastic kmart drawers, they're not perfect but they weigh nothing, don;t have runners so excellent use of space , which makes up for their defficiencies. Thanks for sharing. Cheers

I've got the Office work drawers rather than the Kmart ones, same thing but slightly cheaper, and Inhave the same issues. I'm currently getting a custom fridge organiser made to store all of my cooking and eating gear on the front of my fridge, while a similar one stores spices on my slide out kitchen and a third on the back wall to hold my knives. Frees the space up for more food storage while making everything super easy to grab quickly.

@explorebound 5 ай бұрын

Nice one! I've been thinking about those fridge organisers for a while, seem like a really practical way to store things.

@azi69s 2 ай бұрын

Mate outstanding work. If you wouldn't mind sharing dimensions list and design I'd like to give it a crack.... Noting I have zero skill 😂

@quytrinh271 5 ай бұрын

Maybe a fridge organiser to stick on the fridge door where you can store often used things for easier access

@explorebound 5 ай бұрын

Great suggestion, I've been considering getting one for a while now and would definitely make that stuff a lot more convenient to access. 🙂

@cookiecanfly_ 5 ай бұрын

Amazing set up man!!! How do you go with heat inside the canopy? Does it get hot? I’m thinking about installing some vents into mine🤙

@explorebound 5 ай бұрын

Thanks mate!! Surprisingly it's not too bad actually, I think the large tent up top which stops the sun hitting the roof of the canopy makes a big difference so might be a different story without it. 🙂

@gavinsv 5 ай бұрын

Howdy Guys. I can see that the Blind Spot radar sensors on your Dmax have been relocated. Do you find this has caused any issues? - I have a MW canopy on my Dmax and since the sensors were relocated, I notice the blind spot indicators randomly light up.

@explorebound 5 ай бұрын

Hey mate, for the first year or so they worked perfectly but after a bit of rough driving up near Shark Bay the blind spot monitoring system error lights showed up. After returning from that trip I gave them a good clean and they started working again for a few months, but now seem to malfunction quite often unfortunately.

@TahjmaRahj 5 ай бұрын

Great vid would you go for the red or orange light? Im tossing up the teralume ones and these all spark

@explorebound 5 ай бұрын

Thanks mate! After testing both I'd definitely say red is more effective against bugs/insects, but gives off less light overall. Orange is a bit of a 'middle ground' being pretty effective against bugs/insects but still allowing you to get quite useful light around camp. So with that being said it really comes down to personal preference, for my I'm happy with the red.

@Accolades70 5 ай бұрын

Noice Vid. Maybe add XBAR? Compressor? 200W Lithium, Roof Solar, 2000w Inverter.. it just never ends..... we are getting Bump Steer fix done this Friday YAY!! Upper and Lower control arms on DMAX. Maybe adda Facebook acct/link ??

Good vid guys. Whete do you carry your port a loo?

Thanks mate! That lives in that little blank space on the RHS of the canopy when we need to bring it, that little spot is quite handy for a lot of things haha. 🙂

Where on earth are you getting your ozw4d lights. I can’t find the 36” red and white anywhere ! Also, amazing build man . Love seeing how much you build on your own

Thanks mate! The lights are from "Offroad Living" here in WA, they're the "Allspark" lights. www.offroadliving.com.au/lighting-fans/led-strip-lights/allspark-led-dual-color-strip-lights

do you still have to give back the canopy/tray to MRT or swap back to your one?

@malcolmlewis3239 5 ай бұрын

Hi Daniel & Bianca, Great video as always. If you don’t mind me asking, what brand fridge and what size did you run as a freezer when you did your longer trip and were you happy with it ? Cheers, Mal

@explorebound 5 ай бұрын

Hi Mal, we took a cheap "MyCoolman" fridge/freezer with us to Karijini which did the job, but we found it struggled to stay to the -18 degrees we set it to, often sitting around -10, -11 instead. With that in mind we probably wouldn't recommend one of those, but haven't tested anything else so there's every chance other brands would have also struggled in the hotter temperatures inside a black canopy. Cheers, Daniel.

@malcolmlewis3239 5 ай бұрын

@@explorebound Thanks Daniel, having a look at the clip again where you showed the fridge and then having a look at the my cool man catalogue, I think the one you used was “the roamer”. It has a climate class of “N” which indicates the fridge performance is only guaranteed in ambient Temperatures of up to + 32 degrees. Cheers Mal

@rickmackenzie8488 5 ай бұрын

Does the battery fit in that spot behind the draws? Fill the gap, false floor over the top. Gives you more room behind the fridge.

@explorebound 5 ай бұрын

Yeah it would fit there quite comfortably, the reason I haven't moved it there was I did want to mount an inverter to the headboard at some stage and didn't want to run the 0 B&S wiring all the way to the back, but I agree that would be the perfect use for that space!

No official sponsors for the channel at this stage, although that would definitely help now that I'm doing this full-time haha. Companies do occasionally provide products that are included in videos (always disclosed in the video) but that's about it really.
