    I am amazed that none of you guys have installed a desalination system like the RAINMAN system. That will allow you to carry way less water, and fill up ANYWHERE - fresh/brackish/salt water, and means you can stay anywhere for a much longer time. That is the FIRST modification I am adding to my NPS build!. P.S: Love your build!....

    Currently in the process of fitting out our new canopy in our truck, and are going the way of the Milwaukee packout gear, lightweight, super convenient in a different amount of sizing, and allows me to remove the tools etc from the truck when we are back home to utilise back in the shed. Highly rate it, I know a few other builds that have utilised it also to good effect.
