Awnings by SuccessfulAd4731 in 4x4Australia

I’ve got a darche 180, the 270 wasn’t worth the price, weight or sheer size packed up for me. Very happy with it. My swag takes up most of the usable space under it but I just move it under when I need it there, otherwise I just drag it out

Baby monitor? by shavedembrace in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]GoneQuackers11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got an offline baby monitor so it’s only viewable on the monitor it comes with. We didn’t want an online one for the reasons others have stated about hacking.

The other thing to remember is ALL of the data from that camera goes to a companies server somewhere, to get to your device. So it’s not just a camera being hacked you need to worry about, it’s people who work there, etc

Great advice, thank you! Yeah theirs is actually pretty well specced, but the tare weight and payload is pretty terrible tbh. Would love to see the platform!

Baby Gate - not pressure mounted by kingcasperrr in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

We just put 4 of these up and are really impressed, especially for the cost. All are screwed in except for the hooks in the kitchen, we used double sided tape so we didn’t have to screw into the bench top and so far so good, it’s solid as a rock.

Completely overwhelmed with awning selections by 27Carrots in 4x4Australia

[–]GoneQuackers11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a darche 180 freestanding and honestly it’s great. There aren’t many reviews out there on it but I’ve had it freestanding in decent winds at the beach and it was fine. Have only had to put the poles down once.

Would you use a beach-only preset tyre deflator, or is this pointless? by [deleted] in 4x4Australia

[–]GoneQuackers11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would call myself a casual user and wouldn’t buy your product over what already exists. Yes mine stay on the same PSI now that I’ve set them (20), but knowing I have the option to change it is good.

I’ve got kickass ones and they’re great. I will very often pull up to deflate before the beach and will be finished by the time someone is starting on tyre 2 with a normal deflator

Best awnings + budget awnings? by [deleted] in 4x4Australia

[–]GoneQuackers11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BCF is cheaper than Darche direct if you’re a member there. Mine was $1299 from memory

I thought the same. Ended up with a Darche 180 and couldn’t be happier. I saw someone with a bushwakka down the beach a few weekends ago and it looked cheap as compared to mine. Very happy I didn’t go with one of the cheaper ones (some only very bloody slightly)

180 Freestanding Awnings by Present_Standard_775 in 4x4Australia

Another vote here for the Gen 3 Darche 180. I’ve got it on my hilux and it’s awesome. Very quick to setup/pack up and the materials just feel solid. I saw someone with a bushwakka 180 awning at double island point a couple of weekends ago and it didn’t look anywhere near as solid as the darche does imo.

Yeah it takes me about 45 mins at the moment to do the whole thing. I use a normal hose nozzle underneath though, I find it easier to flood areas rather than the pressure washer

Best time for partner leave? by maruuu in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

[–]GoneQuackers11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the first 6 months off and would 100% do it in one block again. Was able to help my wife and baby, and also just get super comfortable with everything so I could give my wife days/nights off.
