Want a canopy fit out
that's gonna make all your mates jealous?
Come check out what we've done in the back of this
Chopped 200 with an Enerdrive Lithium.
Hey guys, Andrew here from Accelerate
just gonna run you through a epic canopy build
we've just finished off.
So, this here we've got a Chopped 200
it's been chopped by Creative Conversions
and then it went to Norweld to get the tray
all the fridge slide fitted, all the rest of it.
It went to TJM got all that stuff
all the bar work and everything done, roof rack
and then it's come to us to get the canopy fit out.
Oh sorry and it also went to Just Autos
and now it's got some serious power
and really sweet exhaust.
So, then we got it to fit out the canopy.
Now, the customer has pretty much given us
a layout of what they wanted and we've just followed that.
So, yep, this is a pretty well-worn travel path
but we'll check it out.
So, the girls have made me get up in here
to give you the rundown on everything
that's going on.
So, let's do some stretching.
So, that's just the USB and cigarette socket
obviously for charging phones stuff like that.
Everything here is pretty much wired
to the Enerdrive BTech so, all of this is auxiliary power.
So, obviously we can draw as much as we want off it
and the vehicle will still start.
So, run through that's just accessory sockets.
The next thing the Enerdrive gauge, that's an ePro.
So, that tells us everything that's going on in the battery.
That'll give us a constant read out percentage.
You can actually go through
and program it to shut things down.
But the main thing it does is power in, power out
and just gives us an indication of the percentage left.
I should mention this battery also is a Bluetooth battery.
So, it'll also give you a full readout on your phone
displaying from the battery.
The next thing, this Enerdrive green thing here.
That is our inverter on and off.
So, if we want to turn the inverter on
she's on.
So, basically now we've got 240V power down at the GPO
and that's coming from Btech battery
via this inverter behind me.
2000W inverter so that'll run pretty much anything
you can throw at it, microwaves
inductive cooktops and so on.
It's just a fridge output and that's a spare.
I dunno what for just in case he wants
to plug something else in.
So, that's two there.
These here are manual reset circuit breakers.
So, we've fitted these pretty much everything in and out.
The beauty of these is
number one, if you have a problem and it trips
you can just reset it
and number two, if you do want to isolate a circuit
at any time you can literally just flick it
and it's turned off.
So, it's more like a house style circuit breaker.
So, it makes, oh I'm probably upsetting something there,
so, it makes the system a lot easier to deal with
out on the road and just automatic resetting
if there's any problems.
Up here that's just for our Travel Buddy.
That's a really cool little 12 Volt oven.
I think anybody uses them for his pies and pockets
and things but yeah, they're really cool.
Flick it on while you're driving
and you'll probably notice
now you'll smell these canopies go past
and they smell like a bakery, they're awesome.
So, it just ticks away and that's this lead.
It's the way that Norweld do it, which is a brilliant idea,
it's all on runners and movable.
So, once he works out hi set up in here
he can mount it wherever
and we've given him plenty of lead
so, it can go down the back or up the front
or whatever he wants to happen there.
DCDC charger pretty self-explanatory
we're also using this as a solar regulator.
So, at the moment we're putting 8.3 amps in
from the solar panel out the front.
I think it's 150 or 160 watts panel we fitted there.
So, that's going into this and also the alternator charge
goes into this straight from here
down to the DC down to the BTech battery.
So, this really is the thing that does much
of the work charging the battery while we're on the road.
We've also got an AC charger here with just a lead,
if he does need to plug into 240V for any reason.
So, he's at a caravan park and it's been cloudy for ages
then this will just plug that in
and that'll charge the battery out.
That's a 40 amp charger so, that'll definitely do the job.
Circuit breaker for, sorry, fuse, bussmann
fuse for the inverter and down here is just the shunt
and that just runs the ePro.
So, everything from the battery
pretty much goes through this
and that's how it monitors the current flow
and gives you all your percentages and so on.
So, the lights were fitted, hardcore lights.
I think we fit at the metre-y on the door
and then the 50 centimetre one on the inside
they're dimmable and they're dual colour.
So, they'll do the orange, insect proof or low insect lights
and also a bright white light for cooking and so on.
So, they've let me out now.
So, I can show you the inverter 2000 watt inverter.
So, this is switched on from the other side
and basically what it does is give us output
on both sides through these GPOs.
Now, that's been the fact
that we got a 200 BTech lithium battery.
We've got a 2000W inverter that'll give us the ability
to run microwaves, most coffee machines
and inductive cooktops which is pretty much
where everybody wants to go at the moment.
So, that's on both sides.
So, it's sort of gives them flexibility
to cook on both sides or obviously we could use this
which I'd probably charging cordless tools things like that.
So, yeah, useful on this side.
We've also given him another output over here.
Again, if you want to run a second fridge
so, that's quite possible
we you can smack a second fridge here
and then we've got USBs and cigarette socket output here
so, you can charge your [devices] and so on from this side.
So, very flexible pretty much you can work from both sides
and whatever he sort of decides to stick in here
he should have an outlet ready to go.
The next thing we've done is down in here.
You probably not even gonna be able to see it.
Down in here we've got a TJM air compressor.
So, that's a wide up tucked away in there quite neatly.
All right, so the front here
obviously got a pretty cool look to it.
So, the main thing we've fitted
is we've got two of the Livid Hyper-Drive MK2.
These things are awesome.
Look great on a black bar
and they're one of the few lights we've found
that actually fit on one of TJM and bars.
They got a really shallow thing
really shallow mount to them
so, it's hard to find something that mounts
and these Hyper Drives look awesome.
Up there we've fitted one of the Steadi light bars
with the daytime running lights.
Again, looks perfect. It's great up there.
We're using the Stedi mounts
onto the Rhino backbone and it sits perfectly.
And then on top of that
we've got the Enerdrive solar panel.
I think it's running 9 Amps at the moment
so, happy days it's really doing its job.
All right, so down the back here
look the camera's a bit of a compromise
that's not final.
We'll just run with that until we decide
where we're gonna mount it.
I think he's banged his head on the ladder a few times
so, we might change something there.
That'll get us going and work out where it is.
Cars only got 400 kilometres on it
so, we'll let the owner take it for a good run
and decide what we wanna do with that camera.
Down here is obviously our towing setup.
So, we've got stability control, charging lithium in the
van, 12 pin plug and WOZA cable for the camera,
Safety Dave camera on the van, and big Just Autos exhaust.
So, here we are inside the car.
There's a few things going on in here
but most of it's pretty well hidden.
So, I'll give you a rundown.
First up, we've got the Safety Dave screen
with the van he purchased came the screen
that's got a dual input.
We might actually run a four input screen
that breaks it up but we'll run this at the moment.
We've got one camera on the back of the canopy
and then we've got the other one to
that was laid down the back that we showed you.
All you do to flick between the two cameras
is just flick the V1, V2 button.
And so, at all times you can check
if you've got your van on the back.
You can check the front of the van
or without the van you've got full vision.
I don't know if any of you have driven these things
with a big canopy on the back
but it's pretty hard to see even with the MSA mirrors.
Moving along so, the UHF it's got
one of the new XRS ones so, we're all using
we've mounted the just a little switch blank down here
like an RJ45 pass-through.
So, that means when he's not using it
he doesn't have to put up with it.
He can just unclip it.
We'll clip it in and away you go.
