Will one regulator do the both panels or do I need 2 regulators - 1 for each panel?

Thanks.

one regulator, connect both panels to that regulator at the same connection.

Sorry my fault for not reading the thread properly. Fletcha has already given me a rocket for me not wearing my glasses. lol

Seeing as you've had a panel out of the box, and I haven't as of yet...

What is the rigidity of the panels along the "long" side like? I'm thinking about mounting them using the short side, and i'm wondering whether i'll need to brace them along the longer side as well?

Here's what Cuppa wanted to know.

Because I'm a caring and sharing person, I'll let you all in on it. lol


Hey Cuppa,

These are the numbers on the side of my driver's door.

Don't know if yours are the same, but check your rego papers. That should tell you.

Carrying water... The one underneath the back left hand side of the tray is always full. I've got 2 x 20 lt jerry cans and I went to BCF and got 5 x 20lt hard plastic ‘carriers’ that fold up when not needed (about $13-15 each, from memory).

I’ve really only put my truck to the test once, but found that I didn’t need to carry all the water straight up. I could have filled up with ‘free water’ about 20k’s from my camping spot. So I guess what I am saying is to do your homework before you go camping – research on the web and from local knowledge – if you can – about where you can top up with free water. Every little bit of weight accounts for every drop of fuel.

Mirrors - what you see is what I got. ATM, I’ve added nothing. I need a reversing camera.

I always reverse park at work for a quick getaway, but I’ve hit the back fence a few times. Main cause is the rain has beaded on the back cab window, the rear window and window on the l/h side of the pod.
I’d love a night time vision monitor. Minimum is I’m gunna get a decent reverse/work light.

Storage for my 1.25lt gas bottles – eventually






Battery charger


Roof solar panels…..not hooked up and still in the packing box


This is the solar panels with the pod doors fully open

The panels slightly impinge on the roof hinges, but nothing that a 2 inch lift won’t sort out. Lol

The back of the panel



The spare tyres can be used for anything that you want them to be. I stick solar lights on them and if there’s only 1 tree around, tie your clothes line to the back tyre and the other end to a tree and you have a clothes line or a hoochie.

The back wheel is held on the back by a long ‘screw’ and ‘screws’ into the back and is held in tact by a padlock









My fridge - Evakool - 95lt







The fridge/freezer divider


Well that’s about it for the mo, peeps. Hehehehe

Take care out there.
