I have one of those Scrubba Bags and love it. Just used it on a 3 week camping trip and it worked great and takes up practically no space. We also decided that it's coming on our overseas holiday and the end of the year as well. Nick.

I have a 40L Engel Combi (has a divider so 1 part fridge and one part freezer or remove the divider and have a bigger fridge) and love it. We are just finishing up a 3 week trip and having frozen supplies was perfect because we travelled quite remote.

SMOKEY, The second battery (135 A/H AGM) and DC-DC charger are in the tub. It's the box above the wheel on the right. A twin core wire runs back through the same hole as the supply feed then through a hole in the floor at the rear of the cab. The distribution board was double the price as...

I removed the bottom part of the rear seat and built a ply shelf with marine carpet. Then added tie down points and a distribution panel. Sorry for the last photo, I just took it earlier for this reply and it was super bright out.

3 weeks in the Flinders Ranges for me in May! So exited! Nick.

Funny you should mention the Foton ute range, as I thought the exact same thing when this was posted. I haven't seen any pricing on this engine, however the Foton dual cab ute is only $30k here in Australia. Most dual cab utes are between $15-25k more expensive so it might indicate that the...

Yeah I was worried about heat at the start of the build which I mentioned at the battery shop. They pointed out the the DC-DC charger is only 20amp max and it has a temp probe that will reduce charging if the battery overheats. I'll see how it all goes and if necessary I'll add a vent. My...

I thought about under the bonnet, however I would have only been able install a small (around 50-60 A/H) battery and it would need relocation of other things. Also the DC-DC charger is not recommended under there due to heat (could be wrong on this). I'm loving the bigger battery, it ran my...

Sorry about that, I accidentally had the default photo safety level set to moderate. Hopefully it should be working now. Nick

Hi All, Long time lurker here so I though it's about time I shared something. Here is the box I built to sit above the wheel arch in my Navara. I have a 135 amp/hr battery and a Ctec DC-DC charger inside. I'm pretty happy with the overall finish as this was my first attempt at carpeting...

I'm interested keep the updates coming. I'm in Aus too so I find anything local to be a good read. Nick.
