So we've just got the All 4 Adventure D-MAX back from Norweld.
It's got the new canopy with their new layout in it.
It looks pretty good.
We're just starting to put some electrical through it now.
I'm pretty sure Jase will be rocking up any minute now to tell me where to put some things.
So Tactical Tourers are the ones that built the XS-200 which is that signature series
vehicle of mine that was made at Creative Conversions and down here at Tactical.
Now Jake, the owner of the business, he's got 10 years of experience in this game setting
up touring trucks.
Jake!
G'day, mate.
How you goin', mate?
Good mate, good, how about yourself?
How's it going?
Yeah, living the dream.
That's the go.
What's happening with the new canopy?
Oh, the new electrical fit-out, mate.
Yeah, it looks like you've been doing a bit. What are you up to?
We're into it. We've started mounting everything.
We've got all the RedArc gear mounted.
So I've come down here this morning, and Jake is right into it.
We're going away fairly soon, so we're gonna need this thing absolutely perfect for Simon
when he's out on the road.
All right, so how are we going to run this?
What are we going to power this thing with?
So we've got the Enerdrive V-Tech lithium in there.
200AH, I see.
That's right lithium.
So at Tactical Tourers, we do a lot of electrical setups for touring vehicles.
Lots of lithium setups.
That's awesome, so what's gonna run that.
So obviously, I've got a battery, but are we gonna run the whole RedArc system through it?
That's right, so we're putting a Redarc Manager30 in this one, and that'll run the whole system.
So the way it works is it can charge AC 30 amps.
It can charge DC 30 amps from the vehicle.
Or it's got solar input as well.
It's got the Redarc 2000W inverter on the side, and that'll have power outlets on both sides.
Both sides so you can access, because he needs access for his DVD player.
Power it up.
That's right.
We do things like the hose reel that we hard mount, so you can pump up all your tyres rather
than carry around your old slinky air compressor hoses.
15 metres of hose.
So that should reach your trailers, the whole way around the car.
That is a truckload.
That is the best thing ever in a canopy, I'll tell you now.
That is the best.
We've got the switches down there to control it all tucked away neatly next to the kitchen.
So that one runs the compressor, so what's that one run?
That's your jumpstart for your lithium.
When you drive the lithiums down to zero, they need to be jumpstarted to bring them
back to life to start charging.
That's right, and one touch of that button will link the batteries and start them up again.
What have we got for water?
Because normally we run 2 taps--1 pressure, 1 gravity.
Yep, so you've got 6-litre water tank with a gravity fed water tap on the other side.
Yeah, gravity-fed down there.
But for the kitchen side, we run a water pump to a tap just here with a switch right next to it.
So if you've got dirty hands, switch on, switch off.
One of them waterproof ones?
A waterproof switch.
Yeah, because otherwise Simon will get mud and crap all over that for sure.
I see this one we've got a fair bit of storage up here as well.
That's pretty good.
What about lighting?
We're gonna need some sort of lighting to go on.
That's right so we're gonna put the Korr LED lighting in there, the dimmable white/orange ones.
And we'll do full-length doors, both sides, that'll be ample.
That should be pretty good.
So what have you got going around on this side of the canopy, mate?
We've still got a bit of work to do on this side.
We've got the Redarc Manager30 in here.
Yeah, okay so the thing with the Manager30 is we've got to be able to charge it.
So you've got access to that.
Yeah, that's good.
I like how it's mounted in like that.
It looks pretty cool.
So we try and recess a lot of things to maximize your storage space.
Yeah, no, fair enough, that's cool.
So you've got the controller there.
That will fire up.
You can never have enough USBs.
That's right, so we've got a couple of USB plugs there.
You've got your 12-volt outlet there as well.
That's pretty cool.
It's just where the 240 plugs from the inverter will be on this side as well.
Yeah, so 240 plug up there somewhere.
As well as a remote on-and-off switch for that 2000W inverter.
Oh yes, remote so that you don't have to walk around to the other side.
Yep, that's a good idea.
And some more lights up the top here.
Korr lights up the top.
No, that's perfect.
I'm excited.
So hopefully Simon's going to enjoy the new canopy on his truck.
It'll be different, and you know what Simon's like.
He doesn't like change.
He'd better enjoy it.
I'm not putting all this hard work for nothing.
Yeah, fair enough. Good job, mate. Good job.
Bloody awesome.
So we've got a couple of pretty cool things to keep and eye out in the future.
You may have seen our trailers on our website.
We've got a couple of variations coming of those.
A couple more really big truck builds along the way.
And then our normal day-to-day pretty cool electrical stuff that we do.
So now with the whole setup in the canopy, it's got the EasySlide kitchen.
It's got the EasySlide drop-down fridge slide.
With the Redarc package, the hose reel, compressor.
You've got the ARB twin compressor there.
We've got the Enerdrive battery.
There's so much stuff going on.
So once it's all set up, we've pretty much gotta pack the food in.
Simon's gotta get his coffee, and don't forget the honey.
And then I think we're gonna hit the road.
