⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any CZcams fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing. Plus adds a little more personality I guess :)
New videos are being uploaded regularly so if there's something you'd like to see, have Questions and/or Comments drop me a line.
Cheers guys.

Thanks mate. Installing it now, a bit of comfort to look at the video as I go.
Your welcome. Enjoy 🤘
Absolutely awesome video as always, that looks like a bloody amazing tent, can’t wait for the review videos
Looks great. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Just found this channel. Have the same ute, colour and all. Did not realise how much space the tub liner takes up! Not going to throw all of your mods at it, but for sure, you have lit a path to make it much improved. Thanks Adam.
Cheers mate! More to come 😁
And then I missed the raised "sportsbar" instal vid. I ve seen all the vids and the end result. Nice work!
Love your content mate!!! All the way from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Thank you!
Nice.
whats the go with rubber gloves?
my crossbars are 3" (76mm) Wide X 1.5" (38mm) High are the bolts and brackets long enough for me?
Hey Adam
Love your work, you've helped me alot along the way
Couple questions are you going to touch on your awning in the next video and how you can (or can't use them) with the RTT? I really like the RTT but want to utilise a 270° awning but pretty sure wouldn't be able too while the tent is open....
Noticed in the the Dmax overview video you had two awnings on the roof rack and was just interested in your set-up with them
Keep up the good work legend
Yep you can, have run the 180 and now the 270 with this RTT 👍 You'll see in the vids
Also off topic, what made you go the pedalbox over ultimate 9 evcx or idrive?
About to order now
Basically for what I explained in the vid, I ran an i drive for years in the jeep build, work fine, but the pedal box is just a bit more premium, can hide the whole unit under dash and just run via the app, and it tunes to your pedal throw instead of just standard signal amplification like idrive/evc/etc etc (they're all the same just different brands slapped on top)
Hey Adam, awesome videos. 🤩what do you think of a Yowie loaded on front roof cabin of my Power Wagon and GFC topper in the bed truck, leaving loading area free for my gear?
Could be the go, just check out the roof load rating of your truck to make sure it's ok 👍
Hi mate. Was wondering if you could tell us the minimum width between holes on the steel brackets shown in min 7:22. And the length of the bolts going in them. Looking to do some mods to a tub rack.
100mm bracket, holes max 80mm, bolts 100mm. You can get generic brackets and bolts as most roof top tents are the same mounting system as this 👍
Looks reasonably secure front to rear. Doesn't look great for potential lateral movement along the rails? Is there any rubberised material to increase friction?
Yep sure is 👍 Have been off-road on a few trips and is rock solid. About to try something a little different shortly so watch this space :)
Some cheeky mods there Adam re: talights haha looking forward to that vid. You can't go wrong with anything from 23Zero 👍. Top stuff mate.
P.S. looking to sell? hint hint 😅
Was a late night eBay purchase those haha, little vid on them coming soon 👍😁
Does not look like a good seal, how have you found it for water ingress and dust ? Otherwise looks like a great piece of kit, great vid !
Cheers
Doesn't seal per say this one, but the shell comes down to the base to keep water and muck out. I just make sure the side windows etc are zipped up for transport and haven't had an issue since I've had it
This is great. I have a Hilux and a fibre glass top on the tub, but would prefer the tent like this over the tub. So all the equipment/luggage has to be in weather proof containers in the tub. Does the car handle better with the weight at the back?
Yeah it did, has evolved a fair bit since then though, check out the latest couple of vids 👍
Great video ones again mate!
Is there much over hang?
Once deployed so you mean?
When closed mate, much over hang at the back? Or sits flush?
Ah, no sits flush, is perfect for tub
Great video and review... I am considering this tent. Why did you go from a low set up to using a tub rack and having a higher setup ?
Cheers. Change in setup but also found that with the low racks was tricky getting to anything underneath towards the back, and to half crawl in there. Have gone to a canopy now and tested a different style that's Slimer, not necessarily better but different. If you check out the cape trip vehicle overview you'll see what I mean. The Saber-X has a full review coming soon to the channel as well
thank you ... any reason you decided to switch from the Yowie to a more slim line tent ? I currently a low setup and am thinking of investing in a Yowie..
@@VideoShowMeHow
Did you give it a bit of a run on the dust seals? Much in the way of noticed design flaws?
No issues so far? Haven't hit any hardcore red dirty yet but have been down some decent tracks
Great channel with a lot of great ideas. Just confused about the weight capability. Your HSP bar install says the bars have a load bearing of 80kg. The rooftop tent is about 80kg itself. How are the bars supposed to support the tent and two people? I've clearly missed something obvious.
Dynamic vs static rating. Static (eg when stationary) is higher
Got a wildtrak coming and this is the exact setup I'm looking at except Ford have that put that useless piece of plastic in the way..
Something to note for those wanting to mount their tents on the roof is that there is a difference between static load rating, road load rating and off-road load rating. The roof may very well be able to have 100 kilos loaded onto it but when the vehicle starts to move that load rating drops severely to the point where it's lucky to hold itself and a couple of roof bars. Rhino rack is a prime example of not really showing these ratings unless you really dig for them.
Ronnie Dahl did the same thing on his channel and received an urgent warning from a third channel that had just had their tent fall off and badly damaged the roof of the vehicle czcams.com/video/r32xd9z4SZ4/video.html. Mounting it on the tub is a much safer option and lowers the centre of gravity for the vehicle so you're less likely to roll it while doing sharp turns.
I do enjoy following the build though so keep 'em coming!
Yep exactly, dynamic load (eg when off-road etc) is the figure you want to base off, not static load (while load is stationary, usually much higher)
@@VideoShowMeHow For some reason I couldn't think of the word dynamic lol!
how much can the load bars take when your actually sleeping? is two people fine.
I ran a third as I found there was a smidge of movement with 2 people in the tent.
What made you go with the Yowie over the Panther?
Mainly because of shape and the fact that front awning doesn't need the metal stays, it's all one unit making setup ridiculous fast and easy. Sheds water reeeally well. Also the headliner is a one piece automotive style unit which adds some sound dampening (actually reasonably quiet in the rain)
Do the sailplanes need to come off for the install? Or is there enough room to leave them on?
Yeah for this would need to come off
Pain in the cards to access the tub, fridge etc with it on there. I would raise it up on some bars.
Watch this space ;)
hello,
can you do wiring for ambient light, for DMAX ?.
In the RTT?
@@VideoShowMeHow
what is RTT sir.. 😅..
Sorry Roof Top Tent
@@VideoShowMeHow
not at roof tent...
inside the dmax cabin.
Ahh ok. Possibly in the future
If you didnt have the heavy awning would you run it on the roof?
I have the same ute with rhino platform and no awning and wanted to run it on my roof
Would be close, max roof is 100kg, so if rack is less then 20 you'd be right
@VideoShowMeHow on the rhino page it says 21 but what makes no sense to me is you max out the weight on the roof how do u sleep in it then wouldnt it be too heavy with people in the tent
Dynamic load vs static load. Static load is usually a fair bit more (eg at camp)
@VideoShowMeHow oh so our dynamic load is 100 and would be abit more when at camp not moving (can take to weight of people in the tent)?
@xBURNSY270x yep that's right
comfort will be my biggest question with roof top tents. i dont want to drop 3 grand on something and for the mattress to be ass.
$40 memory foam mattress protector makes is a million times better 👌🏼
As Aaron said, or just hit up Clark Rubber for some eggshell foam to suit!
So far so good hey, I mean it's not like an inner spring but have had a few nights so far and no complaints. Better than the bandit 1100 mattress I reckon
Would it not be easier to use a head strap for the camera? Atleast you would have two hands mate?
Use headstrap for the trip ready reviews (for the pov setup packdown parts) but quality is never as good
New tail lights? Do a video if so please!
On the way ;)
@@VideoShowMeHow fantastic! Love the series
The weight of the Yowie plus fittings is listed at 80.5kg and the HSP Load Rack is rated to carry 80kg combined. Is that 80kg per bar or 80kg across both bars?
Are you exceeding the recommended weight when you sleep in it?
Each bar and that's dynamic so no probs, static is much higher 👍 Going to try something slightly different so watch this space ;)
My understanding is that's the static load limit, not stationary. It's mostly to account for the maximum allowable weight you should have on it under the worst possible driving conditions where it may potentially start to fail.
I was going to ask the load rating on the bars as I’m looking at custom built canopy with maybe RTT down the track.
Also mate I’m getting the Alpine Halo 11 installed first week of Dec with 380 cameras
Yeah awesome 👍
jeez you sound out of breath there lol.
All that roof topping is hard work 😂
