@jimbojones2457 3 года назад

That's the best way i've ever seen for unrolling a straight awning like that. Brilliant mate. I've got the 30 second awning 270 degree, that's pretty easy to set up and can be left free standing in mild wind.

@timbates4wdadventures 3 года назад

Jimbo Jones Gday mate, Yeah the straight out awnings are pretty easy with some practice. The 270 awnings are a good thing. Heaps of shade under them. Thanks for your feedback mate. Cheers Tim.

I would like to hear from your high country experience as to how you pick your place to set up camp regarding weather and even what to look out for with things like possible tree branches coming down, what you consider before going, just how you make your plan. Not being too familiar with the high country things to consider if you got locked in by flooded rivers if you have unexpected weather. Your knowledge is well worth collecting no matter how unimportant it might seem. Thanks Tim

Thanks mate. Yeah some of the newer design awnings are pretty good, thats for sure.

@zoezoe610 6 лет назад

Something else people might be interested in Tim is about going to places in the high country. The high country being so big we often don't know what to expect going to places and the things to be considered. On a map places don't look far but can turn into a 4-5 hour trip from the bitumen so tips like what we need to know if going to certain places like fuel, tracks best time of the year, water crossings, whether it is a solo track or recommended to have other cars with you. Just some thoughts for future times making videos.

@timbates4wdadventures 6 лет назад

Thank you very much for your ideas on what people might be interested in seeing and knowing about. Im going to put in place some of your suggestions for all to see, with a lot of helpful tips for the High Country.

Great vid and some great tips! Here's another one - grease up that zipper of the awning holdall! I found out the hard way in big winds after a hot n dusty day that the zipper just locks up... Trying to undo it without breaking the zip is a right old B. Would be good to see a vid on the setup and breakdown in 30-50km winds which are abundant on Oz beaches :-)

@timbates4wdadventures 4 года назад

G'day Patrick, I spray WD40 along my zipper every now and then. I also find that works a treat, in making the zipper slide nicely. They do clog up with dust and dirt. They are a challenge to pack away in strong wind. You have to make sure you have a good hold of it, to stop it taking off over the roof of your 4wd. Thanks a lot mate for your reply and feedback. Cheers Tim.

@zoezoe610 6 лет назад

I ended up cutting some flexible black poly pipe cutting it a little longer than the width of the awning and cut a U shape into each end and fitted it under the awning so when fitted it makes the awning slight arch up enough to make the rain just run off the sides instead of pooling in the middle.

@timbates4wdadventures 5 лет назад

Yes, that's a great idea. Always good hearing what other great camping set up ideas that others are doing.
