David Bates who also is the Conquerer rep in Ohio is adding Kimberley Kampers to his line-up. I know of two people that have already worked with David. I also am working a part upgrade through him rather than the factory. My rear support struts are fine, but...
With my 200 series, I have to have the ladder on the side, looking at the side awing and wondered if any one had it? Curious if it gets in the way of closing the tent up

its the 270. I did a quick deploy and didnt worry about tightening. I could tighten the straps and add poles. I did tighten the hinges after I deployed it
Part of it also is my CB antenna was in the way, and I was going to change it for a shorter antenna which isnt a big deal as I use HAM...
I have the 23Zero awning. Bought it from Gamiviti with the quick release brackets. Awning is 51bs https://23zero.com/product/peregrine-270-us-passenger/
When I went to gamiviti and looked at both a deployed 23Zero and Batwing, they both looked like they had the same coverage to me. I went with the 23Zero, but it was close. Each had advantages
Of course I had to deploy it when I got home
Being set back a bit eliminate any issue with the spoiler on the tailgate. I did open my Slee Bumper so it didnt hit the Max Trax sticking up
I went to see Tim at Gamiviti where I bought my roof rack and he was nice enough to show me both the Batwing and 23Zero awnings. They are both nice products. I like the Batwing being able to put a stake in through the pole. The 23Zero requires a rope and stake.
Both have legs that drop down...
I noticed I never posted my battery upgrade
I swapped out the two 100ah AGM batteries for 3 100aH Battleeborn Lithiums. I picked the Battleborn as it had the best specs for cold storage since it is in an attached garage in Colorado. The nice thing is the usable power increased from 100ah (50%...
Kimberley Karavan - They just delivered several in the US and standing up a US rep who will handle the delivery
The Karavan has indoor toilet, shower, Hot/Cold water, indoor and outdoor kitchen and is built for offroad. They are built for the Australian Outback so built tough as the Ozzie's...
Gamiviti is a great dealer and friend. Since he now sells both the Rhino Rack and 23Zero awnings he is going to get one of each and I am going to go over there and try both to see which one I like better. You can't do better than that for customer service
The quick release brackets look like...
Leaning towards the batwing. I will buy 3 of what I choose as one is for me, and the other two are for my daughters. Damn I am a great Dad :)
I understand I may have to replace a broken hinge or two and also deploy the poles. If it is windy, I likely wouldnt put up an awning
I like that...
The only thing keeping me from a batwing is the easy breakage of the hinge. There are significant reviews that discuss this, but also how it comes with two extra hinges
1) How long on the trail does it take to fix? I don't want to hold others up
2) is there anything that can be done to make...
its simple. Take two bolts holding it to the top of the Alu-Cab ladder and match it up on the top step of the new ladder. Drill holes for the two bolts. Make sure you use washers on the nut side. Best picture I have right now
Can you modify your garage door to be 8ft? If so you can but a Racor rack on Amazon and do it yourself easily at 90lbs
My RTT is much heavier and the Racor worked well
Since then I went to the heavier ALU-CAB and installed a motorized AUX-LIFT
The units are basically the same except wired for 110V with US plugs. They also use different propane mounts as the standard size tank in AUS is different then here. Some people install the AC here if they want it. Other than that it is pretty much the same unit
They plan to come to Expo...
