Oh my goodness!! Dad jokes are always welcome!! The wiring was fun! I loved trying to solve the few problems I came up against.

@@DMSAdventures I shunt joke like that. Ok now I’ll stop.

Haha ya!! At least I didn't have to worry about the length of wires for gauge calculations!! Parasitic!! There it is thank you! Haha I bet they can! Already wishing I could've got a little bit bigger inverter in there!!

@DMSAdventures 2 tips for the next build. On you big wires. Always hook up the non powered sides first. No risk of shorts that way. 2nd tip. Harbor freight sales composite ratchets for dirt cheap. All I use now. For electrical work they are insulated so no chance of sparks from the handle. Great job on the build. Makes me want to redo mine the right way and clean up my wiring.

@ambohouse Ya I saw alot of youtubers mentioning electrically safe tools and I was like... im already buying thirty different kinds of crimping tools, expensive copper wires, lugs, connectors... I drew the line at replacing tools I already had with safer ones! I only got a nasty spark once and it was because I had to disconnect and redo things. I had forgotten there was still a hot connected and BAM!! Luckily didn't damage anything though!!

@@DMSAdventures those rachets are super cheap. And what I use for everything these days. Best 20.00 I think ever. I like them better than both my snap on and Mac ones.

Haha its certainly not a project for everyone. I would probably make a few for friends and such if they wanted. It'd probably be more fun when I'M not the one spending all the money. But I don't think I'd enjoy it as a business. I actually enjoyed solving the problems and troubleshooting why it didn't work with the fans. Wire management is key so the tabs on the box were a great asset to the build. I was telling a friend that when I was looking for how to do this on KZfaq I wanted/needed more in depth info than what I was finding so I was always hesitant to cut something from the video cause I was afraid it would be the one thing someone wanted to know about... thats how you end up with a half hour video!!!

@@DMSAdventuresI’m still watching and good to see a RMM was able to rescue you 🤣.

@SantosChronicles His little hands came in handy several times!!

Haha a rare DMS cliffhanger!! 🤣

Maybe they should start building in wheels with the bags like our Eurmax Canopy!! That'd make transport easier I think! No, the skirt is not acting like a footprint. It's shedding water away from the base a few inches much like a rain fly. Yes if you got the footprint you would increase the functionality of the G6 and have more options in using it. I think it works function great as a tent. I figured out the tires a little bit and they're not a bad but I still prefer toggles. Thanks for watching!! 🤜 🤛

Hey thanks for the kind and generous comment! It's good to hear when the videos are as helpful as they're supposed to be! Be aware that you can even get different types of wall panels from Eurmax's website! Good luck to you in finding the perfect solution for you!! 🤜🤛

Hey no problem!! I hope they work out for you! I really like them!! 👍

@@DMSAdventures I’m still in my research phase and very much considering either the X-mid 1 or 2.

Nice! Ya I think you'll be fine too. If it rains on you watch out for a little leaking around the door. We did finally get this tent in a rain storm and it did leak a little. This video shows it if you want to check it out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ha5ifalnrM2uf2Q.html

I believe it has to do with aluminum weighing much less than steel. The strength to weight ratio is better with aluminum perhaps. I'd have to dig into the numbers to be 100% sure.

Thanks Brian!! 🤜 🤛 It looks less thought out once the wires are in but I promise it's still thought out!

Haha ya idk how many people consider this type of thing fun! Oh it stressed me out, too... even after weeks of thinking about and planning where to put them! Haha yes... EVEN I screwed things up here and there! All part of the learning experience!

Thanks!! 😊 🤜🤛

3 of course!! 😁

@@DMSAdventures lol. I forgot exactly how that went but yeah he bites it at 3. Lol

Thanks Tony!! Oh my, SO much thought and planning went into this!! I thought I'd never get to actually building it!!

That's a great idea Tom!! I'm not sure of thee size of those batteries but I've seen alot of people use ammo boxes for those smaller battery banks! I enjoyed this project SO much!!!

... and it's only 1/2 over!!! 🤪

Oh really!!! Wow it's gone up!!... just like everything else I suppose. If you deal the seams and spray the fabric it's a pretty good tent! We're still using it!!

Ya shes catching up quick to Rugged Mountain Momma! Yes a true instance of you get what you pay for!

I agree with you on that too cover! It's a waste of time to put it on I think! I would never dream of hiking with it... unless there was a campsite a couple hundred yards in our less. Gray is making a larger top cover!! 👏

Haha no it's just my garage! Not sure how long I'll survive the zombie apocalypse! This may help me last a few more days. Haha nothing like a disaster to fuel views!! I'll see what I can do!! 😀

😀 I may need a student loan!! I need some cheaper hobbies!! 😕

Thanks Tom!! Ya I ended up getting (2) 100 w for our shed... im already thinking I should've got (2) 200s.

Oh ya!! I've been wanting to learn this stuff for some time now!! I really enjoyed building this!!

I'm out ans about today. I'll have to check when I get back home. I can't recall which tool was blue! 😀 Those were just representations of my actual tools!

That's a lug crimper for the large battery wires. You hit it with a hammer. Same one I have.

Yup, Tony's got me. I think the hammer lug crimper is the way to go!! It is so easy to use and cheap!!

@@ambohouse oh yeah! 👍🏼👍🏼

I hope so! It's a different kind of series for us. I hope it gets out to people that are in to this short of thing!

Yes, tutorials on utube are wonderful, good for you for stepping out there with this. Will be so interesting!

Just pulled down with two hands on 2 of the poles super close to the hub.

Thanks! I was going to tack this on the end of last week's zoo video but figured, this deserves its own video even if it is short!

Heavy rain is nothing for it. Wind is always the killer of these things and if you stake it down AND tie down the corners from the top it will stand up to considerable winds. Far better than the easy-ups from Walmart!

That's awesome!! No one in our group tried root beer or the cardinal red. I did try a mocha soda that was really different and very good!! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!!

Haha I think Mister is due to the ice cream to weight ratio!!

Ya you really can't go wrong! Even a DQ is great! This one was pretty amazing though!! Haha our ice cream bar's "location" gives it extra significance! It sure was! He downed most of it!!

I presume the "Delmar" was a proper name of some sort. It was the name of the road that the place was on... the grammar seems weird. Are they claiming Fitz owns the road...???

@@DMSAdventures 😂

They were AMAZING! I can't imagine eating dinner there and THEN having one of those!!!!

I can't!!... its a sickness!

Ya the building was super cool and the treats were amazing!!

It was pretty awesome!! The soda in the mighty mocha was definitely different... but good!

Indeed!! So yummy!!

That's awesome!! Thanks for taking a moment to let me know!! 🤜🤛

So I have now had this out on an adventure where it rained all evening and into the night with the tarp up. Come morning, no sagging, not soaked, hit most of the water off of it before folding it up and putting it in my outside pocket! Worked exactly as I'd hoped. I think you'll be happy with it when it comes in!!

@@DMSAdventures That's great to hear! Sounds 10 times better than what I have experienced with other tarps. Thanks again.

You're very welcome! I love your name by the way! Great song! 👍

Awesome!! I hope it works well for you. One thing I've found out is you might want to add a little seam sealer around the stitching of the door. We got a little bit of leaking around there. I typically do use a ground sheet. Usually just a blue tarp. This was just a quick setup for the review!!

@@DMSAdventures Thanks for that information will check on that when. I set up in my yard first before going any where with it.

Ya at this point you need a whole day to get through everything!!

Ya this is an old tent at this point. I'm sure there are several variations of there!! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment!! 🤜 🤛

We actually just posted a 3 year update review of the T8. It has really held up over alot of use. Expensive yes, but justifiably worth it in my opinion!

Nope! I'm not a fan of the bag. The tent itself did come down fast though. Maybe just grab a bungee cord and wrap it with that at the end. Probably a ton quicker!!

It sure is!! Wish we could've shown more of it!!

Haha I couldn't resist when I saw there was no bear! Lots of quotable moments in that movie!! Thanks Bill! 🤜🤛

Haha, that IS weird!! Thanks for noticing! That took more time than it was probably worth!! 🤣 Ya we shoulda checked that out too! Not enough time! It was great to kill a few hours there!!

Haha I did it from memory so I got it slightly wrong! It was close enough to keep it though!! 😁

Thanks!! Ya its really quite the grounds! Huge, well stocked, nicely laid out to!
