For an in-depth look into what we take with us when we camp, please feel free to have a look below.
We support local businesses as much as we can and have had great shopping experiences with the following outdoor stores here in WA.
Here we have purchased many items including our Thetford Portable Toilet, Our Darche Nebulae 1500 Swag, Darche mattress, Binoculars x 2, our Travelmate 95 litre Dual Zone Fridge, we got our Joolca Hottap Outing from here way back when they were first released (still going strong) plus other items too many to mention.
Numerous items for fishing, and some electrical goods for wiring etc.
As with BCF Haynes. various items for our trips and fishing.
We must have spent a few thousand at Jaycar Armadale.
We collected much of the wiring for both the Unimog and the Trailer from these guys. We also purchased our camera setup from them.
Jaycar carry practically everything for setting up and electrical system for off grid living and touring.
Our go to store for everything solar and specialised parts for our elecrical builds. They do all Victron products as well as stocking many solar panels, both new and second hand.
One of the closest stores to our home, we often purchase items from here to add to our collection of chairs, torches and other essential items for camping and travel. We purchased our first Roof Top Tent from them when we built our Ex Army Trailer. The Darche Panorama 2 was a great tent and served us well until we sold it to make way for our current set-up.
Our setup has 10 monitors or sensors that keep us in the loop.
Each sensor monitors tyre temperature and pressure.
We keep the Truck tyres at 55 Psi in the front and 65 Psi at the rear. (Depending on load.) The trailer is kept at 60 Psi.
We also ordered the Wheel Bearing Temperature sensors too, however, we don't use them on the trailer hubs as you would expect... We have actually installed them on the very expensive portal axles of the truck. This allows us to keep an eye on each corner independently and forewarns us if anything is amiss with the complicated portals.
