Hey guys,
So I am planning a build and wanted to know if anyone has any thoughts or advice or ‘hmm wouldn’t fit that I think this would be a better product’ etc
It’s going to be a family travel wagon, 2 adults, 2 young kids age 3/6
We won’t be doing savage off road mountain climbing but will be camping, like to be comfortable etc and I would like decent off road driving but won’t be rock climbing or bouncing etc
Wife wants to be able to use heavy electrical items like hair dryers etc from the 2nd battery. Also I may use a hand held AC from it in future, who knows....
Here’s the proposed build:
Accommodation: DONE
James Baroud Grand RAID RTT
Baroud Falcon 270 Awning with walls and tunnel for additional sleeping and contained eating/changing areas
Electrical:
Dual battery - group 31 and group 35
RedArc DCDC (BCDC1240D)
DCDC Smart Isolator (SBI)
Aux Battery Tray (Slee)
Electrical outlets 6 USBs,BlueSea Voltmeter, 2x12volt outlets (any need for 24v?)
110v outlet ? Any advice?
Inverter and custom box (1000 watts)
Solar blanket connector to recharge
Cell phone antenna for better signal/range
Switch pro 9100 - open to others?
Tailgate interior light - which do you suggest?
Towing - electrical - should I add any electrical for future towing of a trailer etc if they are doing all this work now it may be the time to do it?
Exterior:
Roof rack (can’t decide between Front Runner or Rhino Pioneer)
Roof rack accessories - wind fair?
Root rack front light bar- suggestions?
Roof rack scene lights - suggestions?
Roof rack rear work light - suggestions?
Aussie nudge bull bar with ARB Intensity spots x2
Undercarriage - need some protection for salt in winter and beach sand
Tires - BFG KO2 285/65/18
Wheels - I like the stock ones
Shocks/Springs - any need for upgrade with the weight I got? If so, Old Man Emu??
I was going to lift by 2”
Engine:
Air breather/Snorkel - Safari
On board air? ARB Twin Air Compressor
Manifold kit
ARB Deflator kit
ARB Compressor tray
Diff breathers -? Are they needed???
Storage:
I was looking at Trek Boxx for rear shelving, I want a fridge and pull out for prepping and cooking food on
Open to other suggestions?
Fridge? Suggestions, also size for above family
Is it ok to disconnect when not touring to allow more room for everyday use grocery shopping etc
Interior
Thinkware U1000 dash cam
Radar detector - open to suggestions
Tint - Cermic tint and infrared windscreen DONE
