    Thanks for great tips. The attachments/rings you used for your cargo net are actually for attaching the insulation tent, which in itself is a great piece of kit and definitely worth the money

    Incredible video! Just purchased my Skycamp mini 3.0 and pick it up in a week. All these modifications are well thought out. Thank you for taking the time to make a video on these mods and for so nearly listing the links in the description. Will definitely buy from the links you provided. You deserve all the added revenue mate. Subscribed 🤙🏼

    Awesome vid will definitely follow links to some mods. Question as to how u set the ladder up in this vid. My tent is setup same as yours on the tub of ute. I am unable to get the correct angle when they are locked in. I noticed you had one at the top half way not locked. When you climb up does it put pressure on the tent hinges or have you managed to lock it no halfway somehow
    Thanks

    • @MichaelYarde
      @MichaelYarde  Рік тому

      The halfway lock just seems to be how my ladder locks? I get your pain though, because it’s quite often the truck is either just too tall or just too short for the perfect ladder angle. So I always choose to go too tall, so that that’s no pressure on the hinge

    Hey mate, thanks for this. Can you please tell me, how's your carpet secured to the tent floor? Cheers

    • @MichaelYarde
      @MichaelYarde  Рік тому

      I just used some double sided carpet tape. I’ve seen some people use spray adhesive, but that sounded way too messy for my liking. This carpet tape has been solid as a rock and hasn’t budged at all, so if I was to do it again, I’d do it the same way, 100% 👍🏻

    Do you need to level inclinometer somehow ? I noticed that in your car is not in perfect angle of horizontal line.

    • @MichaelYarde
      @MichaelYarde  8 місяців тому

      You can essential calibrate what "level" means. I mounted the inclinometer, then levelled the tent / car the "old fashioned way" then calibrated the inclinometer to accept the value when the tent is level as zero. I can't remember the specific settings on how to do it, but it's all covered in the instructions :)

    Hi mate, can you link or give me more info on the rear bed rack you have attached your tent box to? Thanks

    • @MichaelYarde
      @MichaelYarde  Рік тому +1

      Hi mate,
      My roller shutter is a MountainTop Roll, and that’s got the slots in to attach the rack too. Then the rack is Frontrunner, using LASS028 legs and then the frontrunner slats. It comes as a kit from Frontrunner. If you don’t have a roller shutter, there’s a different kit from Frontrunner, but I don’t know the specifics as it wasn’t relevant to me. Hope that helps 😊
