Looking good, you did a great job.

Hope you've got a nice trip planned to test it out.

Cheers, Jurgens.

Sure do...

Two weeks down the south coast of WA.

On another note:

Today i have also installed a dual battery setup in the passenger seat box. Comprising of:

Century Start Battery
Century Deep Cycle AGM (105 A/H)
DC-DC charger
Smart Solenoid w/ Battery override
Fuse Block
Change over relays to switch between the alternator and solar panel i also installed
Plus all lighting relays

I was surprised it all fit

I also fit today a pair of 80w LED spotties, 40" and 52" light bars, 4 work lights on each corner of the roof rack, and two cigarette sockets in the back for the two Waecos

Pics will come tomorrow

Wow I had never heard of them so just went and had a look at the Gordigear site.
Good tents by the look of them !

I just wonder with the basic explorer one is actually missing that makes it cheaper than the PLUS version ?

There is not that much difference, just that the plus has a covered entrance and some other minor things.

From the website:

"The Explorer Plus is a further development of the Gordigear Explorer roof tent. Matching all the features and strict quality requirements of its smaller brother, it is especially popular with families and customers that require additional covered space."

I purchased this tent from "Helmut" at Gordigear, very well made and heavy duty canvas too I think it was a copy of an aussie traveller tent but a third of the price.
