How much can you actually fit into a caravan front hatch? 👀

🪫Power gear, gas, water, tools... it all has to live somewhere

When upgrading a caravan power system, it’s not just about adding more electrical gear. The real challenge is working out where everything goes, keeping the setup organised, accessible and practical for everyday use

This is a look inside the front hatch of one of our caravan projects, where the power system had to share the space with the rest of the gear that comes along for the trip

Before you start pulling your Isuzu dashboard apart... watch this 👀

🔧Getting a larger head unit into a truck doesn't always mean removing half the interior

We've uploaded a short video showing how we approach a 9-inch head unit install without removing the dashboard, along with a few practical things to keep in mind

It’s more of a quick workshop tip than a full DIY tutorial, but hopefully it gives you another way to look at the job

We get asked a lot: "once it's off-grid, how hard is it to actually use day to day?"🤔

Honestly - not hard at all, if the system's designed properly from the start

🚛 This Mercedes Sprinter just had its off-grid electrical system completed: 628Ah / 8kW Lithium battery bank, 3000W pure sine wave inverter, dual MPPT solar charge controllers, plus a DC-DC charger to top up from the alternator while driving

The goal isn't just a clean install, it's making sure the owner can actually run it themselves. Switching things on, checking battery levels, managing solar input - all as simple as using power at home

We put together a full video walking through how to use this exact system. If you're planning an off-grid campervan or motorhome build, worth a watch before you start

The finished result on Mercedes Sprinter OFF-GRID build ☀️🔋

A quick look at the completed setup, including the Victron system, 12kWh lithium, 1200W solar and 3000W inverter

We've gone into a bit more detail in the full video and had a look at what's actually running behind the scenes

Thinking about an off-grid setup for your van or camper? What would you like to see?

Ahh… the good old BA/BF Falcon (2003)🚗

Still a bloody good car, but after all these years, the factory electronics can start to show their age

🎞️ This one came in with a CD failure, and we also had an air-conditioning issue to look into

We've put together a short video showing the CD issue and what we'are checking before moving forward

We’ve uploaded the video showing the problem and the approach we took to get the system sorted and move it towards a more modern setup

Sydney Touareg owners - this one's for you

🚗 We finished this custom build 9" on a 2006 Volkswagen Touareg, one of our favourite platforms to work on

Our job was making sure the upgrade respected that. Custom-fit screen, factory-style fascia, no cheap universal fascia panels or floating tablets stuck to the dash. Just a clean integration that looks like it left the factory this way

If you're running an older Touareg (or any classic VW/Audi) around Sydney and want modern connectivity without ruining the character of the car, drop by the workshop in Belmore or send us a message 📩 - happy to chat through options for your exact model

That little top screen… looks easy enough to remove, right? 😅

Well, there’s a bit more to it than just getting a trim tool behind the edge

We’ve filmed a quick guide on removing and deactivating the factory top LCD clock on a Holden Commodore VE Series 1 (2008), including a few things worth knowing before you start pulling the dash apart

No sales pitch - just a workshop tip for anyone working on their own Commodore or tackling a stereo/interior upgrade

When your Prado radio suddenly starts saying this… 😬

"Program cannot be read, please consult the dealer"

Instead of putting up with a dead or unreliable factory setup, this 2012 Prado Altitude 150 was given a proper refresh

🔧We fixed the original issue and upgraded the centre display to Apple CarPlay, giving the cabin a much more useful setup for everyday driving

We know plenty of Prado owners keep these cars for years, so sometimes the answer isn't replacing the car - it's simply fixing what no longer works and bringing a little modern tech into the cabin

🎥 We got the full video in the comments
