    So does this mean you won't need to take the extra panels on your trips? Probably a bit strange to ask, but could you do a video on the basic foods you take for one of your 4-5 week trips to these isolated areas. Love your shows great to watch the places , I'll never get to now plus the ongoing information and ideas. Like you,not everybody can just duck down to ironman or who ever and buy the latest gear and have it fitted to the new truck.

    • @craigtomkinson2837
      @craigtomkinson2837 Місяць тому

      Hi Malcolm thanks for watching and commenting, The panel on the 80 is mainly just to charge the batteries when in the back of the 80, But if I had days of cloudy weather and thick smoke from the TOs control burning up north yes I would use the new panel as well, Ok I will do a Ep on food I take and how I pack it and maybe combine it with a few other things. Thats right hey I try and get the most out of everything by rebuilding it or making it better,

I set it on Max and it run unreel, Time will tell how good it is if I get 5 or 6 years out of it I be happy. Tonk
