Alex goes through choosing and installing a new set of drawers in the GU Patrol.
To see more of our work with the new drawers, follow RVSS on Instagram @rvstoragesolutions and see their RU-vid channel for MANY more setup ideas: / @rvstoragesolutions1218
Also find them on Facebook if you like: / rvss.com.au
If you're interested in reading the full story of what happened with Black Widow/RV Storage Solutions, you can find that HERE: www.rvss.com.a...
And of course if you're thinking of a new set of 4wd drawers yourself, you'll get a lot out of the RVSS website. I played around with setup ideas on here for AGES! www.rvss.com.au

As someone that works in Aussie manufacturing for the automotive aftermarket industry, thanks for the spiel.

Looks great Alex. Well done. Since I’ve had mine installed I haven’t looked back

@Andrew_marr 3 года назад

Great run-through of the draws Alex. They look like a well designed unit, which is going to give you heaps of storage.

Have been using black widow and rv for many years. Best drawers on the market apart from the lock strikers which break repeatedly. Rv factory in new gisborne. Not in Melbourne! Cheers. Its essential to red loctite all the bolts and fitting etc. They vibrate loose unless red loctite is used. Great video. Cheers

@ShawX4 3 года назад

Anything from the old Black Widow guys, you know will be good gear!

@NathanKingOverland 3 года назад

Great setup. What do you think about some kind of barrier to keep gear from falling behind the fridge? I haven't done that yet with my set-up and it's starting to drive me crazy. Stuff will fall in the way and then I have to go around and move it before I can slide the fridge back in.

@Alex.G 3 года назад

Yeah that drove me nuts on my last setup so I built a barrier out of an old screen door. Haven't had any trouble with things falling down the back or sides with this setup yet

@NathanKingOverland 3 года назад

@@Alex.G Good idea.

@BugsyShort 3 года назад

i just bought a BA falcon and aggresivly shoved a locked ( totally not welded) diff in it. how much of the boot lid do I have to cut in order to fit this setup?

@Alex.G 3 года назад

Just a little off the top should do it mate, maybe a little tickle with the gentle persuader! 🔨

@prg7743 3 года назад

How much. ? Alloy is way to go I almost got a Outback double drawer but at almost 90 kg forget it. Cheers 👍🏻

@Alex.G 3 года назад

I looked into their pricing and off the top of my head in this configuration it was about $3400 I think. All the pricing is on their website somewhere

@TheStewy09 3 года назад

Hey Alex, nice set up. Where does the table store when its not being used?

@Alex.G 3 года назад

In my case it slides perfectly next to the fridge between that and the drawers 🙂

@MrButuz 3 года назад

Man those drawers are sweet. I get what you say about buying aus. Your stuff looks so well made and thought out - over in the UK there's not much of this stuff around and a lot of it is heavy etc. Even thinking of importing a roof tent from aus as the UK ones are generally massive heavy horrible looking things!

@rhyss8580 3 года назад

Great video. Me and Dad use an old set of Black widow drawers we got from a mate second hand. Cleaned them up and they work great. Just have to build a wing kit for them to fit our old Prado.

@gingerdunne2692 3 года назад

Great set up.why dont u go rooftop tent for sleeping

@Alex.G 3 года назад

I had one in the past, one of the fold over ones. It was the biggest pain in the backside. If I was to do it again I'd get a hard shell tent, but they're SO expensive I just can't justify it

Hi Alex, i also have a RV solutions set of drawers in my Patrol, although i think in hindsight i should have used the configuration that you have chosen. I didn't fit mine but you and Rhiannon made it look easy:) (I hope that i have spelt her name correctly. my apologies if I haven't)

@Alex.G 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment Ian. You're about the only person who DOES spell her name right, so bloody well done 👍

@rorzzza 3 года назад

Appreciate the honesty regarding the supply of the drawers - to put it in the first 30 seconds and not hide it in the comments is refreshing and I subscribed as a result. Seems a few other 4wd youtubers are forgetting their humble beginnings and glossing over this important factor when discussing other products. They could relearn a thing or two by watching your vids.

@Alex.G 3 года назад

Thanks for the sub mate 🙂 it's one of the first things I think about when it comes to product sponsorship, can I actually back it? And can I do it without looking like a total sellout? Everyone else just grabs anything thrown their way and tries to lie to everyone watching

@Alex.G 3 года назад

This is a channel that supports locally made and ethical business wherever possible.

@Aussiecamper 3 года назад

I mean Chinese manufacturing is said to be on average the poorest in the world. I doubt you'll find much on this channel. Sorry Alex won't be promoting slave labour either.

@kumbackquatsta 3 года назад

@@Aussiecamper please share your evidence stating it's the poorest? have you thought that maybe the companies/customers that outsource to them are just the cheapest, and killed their own local industries. you get what you pay for.

@kumbackquatsta 3 года назад

@@Alex.G does that include shilling for a company that abandoned aussie manufacturing by outsourcing to make a quick buck, committed commercial suicide, and rebranded with a renewed sense of "patriotism," that you now promote? which part of that is ethical? you bash china for the quality of the products, when the products are built to the price point/specs that the company you're shilling for, contracted them to, likely because aussie buyers would not or could not afford locally made products.

@Alex.G 3 года назад

Okay I see the point you're making but it's not all about the quality. It's about keeping more money in your country of origin, supporting local and small businesses and in doing so trying to bring some manufacturing back home. These drawers are designed and MADE at the factory in Victoria. Measured, cut, assembled all to order right there.
