Nice suggestion. the welded angles are to the elite only, the guys that have a welder. A simple wooden bracket does the job equally well. I need to combine your loader with a dolly as I can't do what you do: carry the motor from the transom to the loader. Your video inspired me to do a little thinking of how to attach your loader board to a wheeled assembly. Good job.

Interesting place to explore, great video. I love watching episodes like this, it helps me narrow down areas to visit. Keep them coming! If I may make a suggestion, it would be helpful to provide some back ground to trip, for example, you said it was cold. It would be good to know, what temperature, what time of the year. This is handy to know when your audience is not familiar with the area. Anyway, great vid, thanks again!

The problem is that box awnings are for shade only. Not for rain or wind conditions. Of all the designs, Fiamma is probably the better, but they are really not fit for purpose if your purpose is an all-weather awning. All you need is an AFK and tie down straps. You dont need extra poles and holes. Also Peggy Peg make a foot support which the foot at the bottom of the poles fit into. No need for modification.

@victormeldroo 5 ай бұрын
never use ratchet straps they apply too much force, use only cam buckle or double D ring straps, much safer and many people don't know how to use ratchet straps properly anyway. also if you put a twist in the straps it will stop that annoying buzzing sound when the wind picks up, you know the one that sound like crocodile Dundee making a telephone call.

Hi that is exactly what I have set up same van and all how ever 1 end works perfectly but the other doesn't when u slide the grass hopper on to the plastic lip there's not enough material from awning to clamp down. It's like it's to far from edge of awning so when you close the clamps on AFK it doesn't hold any suggestions would be very appreciated been away 4 times and can't get that end to clamp ??? Thanks

Hi there… if I understand what you’re saying, it could be a little like mine…. On one of my ends it’s like the awning vinyl has not. Web cut straight or put in not perfectly square - however yours sounds a bit worse than mine - at least mine clamps pretty much ok…..if I’ve got it right about yours I’d be putting in a warranty claim

I thought the same the first time I used the AFK. I found though, I was using an 'outer' piece on the awning frame to slide the Grasshopper onto... wrong one, the proper slide on bit is inside the one I thought it was... if that makes sense. Then perfect.

yes it is absolutely correct. Take a look at your manual where they tell you which sides are ok. Typically the only side that should not be used is the one with prop down. if you lost your manual you will easily find it online. nowadays they have sophisticated search tools for internet use.

If my parents could drive an old hillman with a caravan up from Victoria to Queensland through the glasshouse mountains with 2 kids in tow as well me being one of them I dont see why its impossible for a normal car.

I remember the townsite of Hawker had a council impouing yard with an early 60s Chrysler Royal in it but this was way back. One trip after escorting a load to Leigh Creek, I came across the unusual sight of a fox and a huge Wedgie sharing a road kill kangaroo. The next day and about 1000 further on, I happened to pass another Wedgie dragging a road kill fox off the road. Nature is strange. Great videos you have here that I have just discovered.
