Sorry if I am posting again, I thought I had posted a comment, but can't find it, so having another go. As I said in first comment, what a well structured video, you put all the info and steps in a logical order answering questions as one would naturally think of them. Only thing is I can't find the "hook" strip you refer to, only the sail track at Bunnings, at least online as I don't want to drive there to find only the one. Any ideas of what it may be called, so I can try elsewhere, but searched all the aluminium strips online, unless it is listed as something else. Thanks again for taking time in your day to make this info available, because I am going to do my best to fit one to our van
Great idea / set up - thanks!. Suggest applying silicone behind the sail track, before fixing pot rivets - to stop water getting in holes drilled in side of caravan
the secret on dirt roads is slower speeds, that will reduce most stones, as 700 bucks for 20 bucks worth of shade cloth is a giggle, all you need is the screen on the van and slower speeds and longer mudflaps on vehicle
I have both but with the Tyre deflator for the red one is too slow and you can you use it for fast checking the black one for the first time if felt confused but after your explanation it's too easy the trick is to open the inside valve which makes the difference.. you think it's open but it's not make sure that you open it full not little
My vans lead was tight, not from the stone stomper, just the auto electrician made it a bit short. 🤪 it was fine all athe way around OZ 50k of travel. The tight van sites made it loose sometimes
Thanks Luke. Great video very well explained. I’m thinking of using the Dune in my tunnel boot. If you don’t mind me asking, Your nearing on 1 year since you installed it, how has it held up. Thanks Tony

Hey mate, we are currently looking at one of these vans and watched your video which was a great walk through. Thank you. Just wondering when you said they aren’t making these vans or configuration anymore because of the vents, what you meant? Could you explain a little more for me please. That would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! So the laws changed and the gas vents can not vent into the side you have the annex anymore. So I and been told this was the reason. They were made from approx 2010 to 2015 I think. 😂

NSW govt mines department website DIGS will have great historical stuff on the mines, put CoffsHarbour gold into the search box.. Did you pan any of the creeks for fine gold? Gunpowder was available and Henry Lawton’s story on ‘the loaded dog “ gives us an idea. Dynamite may have made it to Australia by 1890. Cyanide is only dangerous if you drink it, it is very volatile and rapidly evaporates into the atmosphere. It is the mercury that will kill you. Rock is normally broken down and goes in the stamper battery, the crushed rock goes across copper plates coated with mercury that sticks to the gold. This amalgam is scraped off regularly and placed in a retort where it is heated and the mercury is evaporated off leaving the gold. Small miners used to hollow out a potato and cook it and the mercury would evaporate into the potato leaving the gold. Hanging around the mercury retort was a short death sentence, cyanide is much safer and is still used today.
Nice upload I travelled through in 1990 I loved it so much we Left Tasmania. There was a property for sale we grabbed it. Great seeing the kids having a ball
Kick Ass dude. I was going to fix mine permanently but you've convinced me otherwise. I bought a different brand shower tent though and only came with 4 bolts, hopefully Bunnings has them (probably not). Cheers mate
We fished Cahiĺls in July 2023, plenty of Crocs on both sides of the crossing .lucky enough to catch a 650 mm barra in much the same location you were fishing. Then, we travelled on to Kimberlies, where fishing is really amazing. Safe travels.
Yes I just wondered if I need to put some lock tight or add some wire spring washers Thanks for your insight on the product Happy travels be safe out there
Hi Luke. I like to know if the sections lock as I had a look at the xtm and it won’t really lock properly a little pressure or bump and it sends these tío s back in without using the levers Thanks Gabriel
Hi Luke, i have a tunnel booth opening of 680mm wide x 430mm high, would i fit both the slide out and the nomad in there without having to find a seperate storage area for the nomad. Cheers ?
It would be close, I measure it at 43cm to fit, so if you have a lip inside the tunnel boot that sinks the slide out down it may just make it. This is if you have the bbq in the top tray. You can remove the top slide tray and it would fit easily.
Hi Luke, thanks for posting the video I found it really informative. If you did remove the top slide and sat the Ziggy Nomad on the second slide as you mention above, would you be able to tell me what would the total height of the assembly come down to? The tunnel boot height I have is 385mm, and I have struggled to find the height between the top and second shelf online.
Unfortunately not. It missed by 5cm, if you have a bigger hatch it would have worked or if you have a single draw pull out. But I found a single draw pull out still kept the bbq to close to the caravan than I liked
It has really protected the drawbar and the front of the van. If I had extra low flaps on the van in the middle of the van it would be the 💯 perfect combo
I did not do it on my van, but it would be good on a van that has a external panel and frame on it. My van is a solid panel van so no water can get inside
Glad it was helpful! We are 3 months into our oz trip and it’s been fantastic. We had a sand storm on a beach and the pull out channels filled with sand, but after a clean it’s great again. 🤙🏻
its a great video and idea. the use of bunnings parts was great as everyone is near a bunnings. was a hard watch though if you have decent speakers as your audio is very tinny ( heaps of treble) and no bass and the echo was rough
@@hitchupadventures4302 bummer, i hate it when i make a video and realise after that one thing is off. glad you have it sorted the rode will be waaay better
