Thanks for you video, I’m wondering if you have the darche 180 awning and how it goes with the overhang. Spoke to darche and they told me no more than 500 overhang and the ranger works out to 615 either side. Want to get one but unsure if the awning sits well. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
@rangertouring13 күн бұрын
Hey mate, on my car the rear of the awning is in line with the bottom of the tub rack spoiler thing and the front overhangs the top of the windscreen by 30cms. For reference, I can’t see it from the driver seat unless I lean forward. Hope that helps.

Hey mate, it’s a pretty good mattress as far as air mattresses go. There is not other cushioning other then air so it will feel pretty normal. It’s got a lot of depth once inflated which does allow you to sink in a bit. Overall pretty good

Good walkthrough on the RTT. I have a Kings Big Daddy swag and use their 100mm self inflating mattress in it that works a treat in the swag.. do you think that would fit inside the RTT ? My swag rolls up pretty much the same size as my sons swag (same Big Daddy Deluxe) with the 75mm foam mattress that comes standard with that swag. What tub rack are you running to put the RTT on ? Have you installed any bracing for the rollershutter ? Looking at something similar for my PX1 Wildtrak.
@rangertouringАй бұрын
Hey Mate, if you deflate it and fold it up it would fit no worries if you also took the current mattress out. With the mattress still in, it would likely fit but be a bit of a squeeze. The swag is hands down more comfortable, but overall I am a fan of the roof top tent. Tub rack wise its from a guy on the Sunshine Coast who makes his own.

Hey mate, I’ve got an external oil cooler fitted and am getting a thermal bypass fitted shortly. I have a scan guage and more or less drive to the temperature. If I’m in soft sand or driving steep hills, I will always run the car in low range as it doesn’t get as hot. At Stockton Beach I had it in high range and it got very hot, very quickly. I will use it in sports mode to control what gear I’m in, by doing that I can usually keep the auto temp under 100 even in sand. It does start to climb up a little higher if I’m conducting a long decent in low range

Camping in Western Australia and doing a trip around, the shelter is meant to be for sleeping, and sleeping well and comfortably. It’s not meant to be a house, and would be best suited when effort and time to set it up and keep it is kept to minimum. Swags beat every other shelter options including roof top tents. Far more sheltered if you pop it under an awning/tarp, and a piece of tarp under that tents can’t benefit often. And this video further shows why swags requiring pegs are rubbish. The best I’ve found is actually the wanderer extreme heavy duty swags due to being able to be completely peg free and do well even in hail. Slap a Monsta mat inside and bring a simple usb powered hand vacuum and the take down doesn’t even require any effort when rolling up.

Nice tracks! We were out there a couple months ago but couldn't get too far in to the bush as there was a fire coming through and the fireies and forestry works were directing us away. Great spot to camp. Was there much water in the creek?
That’s a shame, worth checking it. Wouldn’t probably spend more then a weekend though. The was level was ok, enough if you wanted to go for a dip
We did almost exactly the same tracks as you guys last November, even having to turn around at the same places. Next day we drove the Old Coach Road from Blackbutt to Nanango, that was a lot of fun.
Haha classic! It was a shame, it had some promise! Haven’t done that one before, I’ll have to add it to the list!
