G'day G'day,
Bit of an update on our modified Austrack Simpson Camper Trailer and how we've found it now after we've surpassed the 18 month mark and head toward the two year milestone. Things that are working and what doesn't etc. Get asked alot about the trailer so hopefully have answered all the questions with this video. Cheers everyone and thanks for the interest and following along our travels.
Have a cracker!

G'day Tim To stop water running down the flexi-poles on your tent role on a couple of snug fitting O-rings. Keep a few spares, they don't last forever in sunlight. Love your work. Cheers.

Thanks for the update, after watching your vids we have recently bought a brand new Simpson X. We have done a couple of shake down trips so far and enjoy watching your videos to get ideas. Austrack sales and service is appalling I havent ever dealt with a Company that bad before. With the window rods ours came with rubber O rings on the poles and it seems to do the job, and yes the Kaon wind deflectors i bought after watching you are definitely well worth it.

@@Tracey-eq8qj ahhh great to hear. Congratulations on your new trailer. They are a beauty amd are pretty rugged. The o rings on the wondow rods are a great idea. Someone else mentioned that also. I do have a box of them so I'll prob do that next time we're in some rainy weather. Thanks for a watching and glad you get something out of our vids.

Regarding the water coming off the RTT entry, maybe put and eyelet in canvas in the centre between the 2 ladders and a rivet something to the tent base so you can install 1 horizontal adjustable pole to push the canvas outwards? Might work and simple to set up

Hey mate great update on the trailer. Good to hear those rings work in the gas cooker. I remember when you first got them i mentioned to do a follow up we will look them up. Now you have the bigger fridge jn do you reckon you would add a 2kva genny for when you get a longer run of not much sun? Look forward to the next vid
@TimRumble

@@wayneanderson419 G'day mate. Thanks for watching. Yeah can confirm those rings are great. Not sure about a genny. I've always been open to it. The 350ah lithium should last 7 days minimum in warmer weather. If we find ourselves needing some power we may just steer towards a powered site. We are also going to upgrade the agms in the car to lithium so we may even end up with 300ah in it depending on battery dimensions. But where looking into that soon.

Thanks for the update on the gear Tim, I never thought of the water flowing down the windows poles into the holes, so good idea about the rope/ribbon idea, will have to keep that in mind for our roof top. Also I went back through your videos and found the one about the new rig and what happened to the old Luxy, and realised i was away that week hence why I missed the video that week. 😅 ha ha Stay safe out there. 🤙

Yo timbo . Ive just got a new mattress for the van and its way better than my old clark rubber mattress. I got the new one from ikea and it was half the price .

I'm not sure you would be happy with an air mattress, they tend to go down during the night. Have you thought about Makin Mattresses? Not used them myself but have heard good reports from others who have had ones made for their vans. They can make any size, thickness, style inc pillow top etc. Might be worth a look. Enjoying your videos.

@@paulsgarage3169 thanks mate. I might enquire before we make any solid decisions. I feel like our only option is the high density foam as it's 75mm thick. We can pack it up with all our bedding in it at this thickness. Any thicker than that it will put too much stress on the hinges when folding it away. I like the idea of the self inflating ones. I understand they may go down during the night. My early enquiries one a few products though have ensured me they won't. Drifta actually make the perfect size ones. We'll get two so we can choose how hard or soft they are. That's where we are at with it. But havn't made a decision just yet. It's an important part of the rig... maybe one of the most important parts.
@paulsgarage3169
@paulsgarage3169 3 месяца назад
@@TimRumble I didn't know the mattress had to fold with the setup you have. That does make it a bit more difficult. You could always try an "egg Carton" foam underlay under or on top of your existing foam mattress. Problem is you don't want to be spending money on things that might not work. I'll be interested in seeing which way you go. Happy travels.

@TimRumble 3 месяца назад
@@paulsgarage3169 yeah the tent folds in half. It's quite large inside. But we are large folks. 2300mm x 2150mm. So yeah Drifta self inflating x2 is at the top of the list currently.

G'day mate...regarding the solar panel not putting big amps?? If the batteries are nearly full it will only read / put out what it needs...hope that makes sense? If the batteries are low the regulator will let it pump in 10 or 12 amps pending size of solar panels?
@TimRumble
@TimRumble 3 месяца назад
@@Darioros326 ahh right. Yeah I follow what ya saying. But yeah I've not had much luck out of them panels at all, they used to keep up no problem and when the sun set the trailer was usually at 100% on a good day. I think gradually they go bad. The redarc one on the roof of the new rig pumps pretty well. So not sure if it's just quality etc. But I'm pretty over them. But just keep forgetting about them as we have a tonne of power for our needs in the trailer
