I'm enjoying your videos. However, the sound volume between you talking and the music is so drastic that I'm constantly having to adjust the sound level on my remote. It's a little bit annoying.

Glad to hear you are enjoying the videos! Does this happen in all the videos? In the newer ones the sound quality levels should have improved 🤔 let me know!

@GeorgeSoan
@GeorgeSoan 29 дней назад
Awesome, I had a look at those a few years ago. They look like a great option. Similar to the Alu-Cab camper. That is a great starting weight, a lot less metal is needed for the sides. We have never taken our Tommy off, so being mounted to the tub wouldn’t be an issue. How have you found the camper in general?
@Dave_Gurman
@Dave_Gurman 29 дней назад
​@GeorgeSoan it's new to us and we're still fitting out tub. With the bed being able to be pushed up out of the way, it provides standing room in the full tub area. Our vehicle is a Jeep Gladiator, so off road ablity was important. We've just completed a GVM upgrade which now allows the weight to be added. We looked at Alu Cab though didn't like the checker plate look and not having a tailgate. The Alu Cab does have more length to the bed which means you don't have to drop the access hatch to complete the sleep platform.
@GeorgeSoan
@GeorgeSoan 29 дней назад
@@Dave_Gurman interesting, everything has its pros and cons. I think they look great and I like the look of the matte finish too. If you make a video on the setup, I’d be keen to have a look. That weight saving will be a massive help off-road. Enjoy the new setup!
