How Did Our Bush Company Tent and Awning Hold Up? We Review It!
365 Days Living Out of The Bush Company AX27 Rooftop Tent and 270XT MAX Awning!
After over 365 days touring Australia in our Isuzu DMAX, we’re sharing our full review of @TheBushCompany AX27 Rooftop Rent and the 270XT MAX Awning. These key pieces of gear have been with us through some of the harshest conditions Australia has to offer, including remote outback camps, rugged off-grid tracks, and stunning coastal stays.
In a marketplace that seems flooded with rooftop tents and awnings, it can be hard to know what to choose - watch to find out whether The Bush Company should, or shouldn't be on your list!
This is an unbiased review - in fact, when we told the Bush Company Team that we wanted to make this video, they welcomed it, and asked us to give you our honest opinion.

    Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by! One thing we forgot to mention on the video is dust seals. These were VERY good. So good that we had dust ingress coming up the inside of the rear windows in the DMAX on the Oodnadatta Track, but none in the tent. Also, zero issues with water getting through the seals too. They perform very well 😊.

    I'm a professional photographer down here guys and I have hiked this mountain a number of times and over the last three years. I've hiked it about six times and every time I've been clouded and it actually gets really disappointing because you get up there and you can't get a photo I did end up with some amazing shots. The last time I was there coming down the hill but I didn't get anything from the top. It's always an epic feeling. It's actually a really really challenging walk. I wouldn't call it a climb because you don't actually scramble any more. the old track you used to have to scramble a bit but that was unsafe. It's just good to see people still climbing it and enjoying it and yep the old calf muscles are sore for a couple of days afterwards but it's a great feeling to get to the top the last time I climbed it took me about eight hours. That's because I was carrying about 12 kg of Cameron gear and drones and everything else that I had with me to do a shoot.

    Hey Matty and Em, I’ve absolutely loved watching your D-Max build and travel videos! They've been such a huge source of inspiration for my own build and have given me some awesome ideas for future trips. I was wondering-have you had any issues with your gear along the way? Setting up a vehicle can be pretty pricey, as you know, so hearing your honest thoughts on how everything has held up would be super helpful for anyone planning their own build. Maybe even a quick video on the big-ticket items like suspension, bar work, the canopy, and the rooftop tent? Whether it's failures or just small things that bugged you, it’d be great to hear about. Anyway, keep up the awesome work! I'm really looking forward to your next video.

    Great videos & description of some of the tracks around Buller. Good to see the DMax is holding up, but I do cringe watching it roll from side to side, especially on uphill sections. It looks WAY heavy. Probably something to do with having 130kg of Bush Company gear mounted so high up, plus the high-mounted wheel and the gear on your cabin roof. I feel for the little rear diff housing/axle on those underbody shots. I hope it continues to hang together and you can get many miles of trips in your rig. But I hope you've got a switched-on 4WD mechanic who can keep a close eye on the bushings throughout your suspension, taking the weight of the rock'n'rolling. Keep it up guys.
