When it comes to creating a touring setup that’s as functional as it is eye-catching, Samantha’s 79 Series is a rig that stands out from the pack. Built with durability and self-sufficiency in mind, this setup is packed with touring essentials and clever upgrades designed to handle anything the tough Aussie outback can throw at it. From the robust MITS Alloy Tray and Canopy Package to advanced off-grid solutions, Samantha’s build proves that adventure and practicality can go hand in hand.
If you’re dreaming about building the ultimate touring vehicle, there’s plenty to learn from Samantha’s setup. Here’s a detailed look at what makes this 79 Series so exceptional.
Built Tough with MITS Alloy Tray & Canopy Package
The best part about Samantha’s build is the MITS Alloy Tray and Canopy Package. Known for superior engineering that’s specifically designed to meet the challenges of Australian conditions, MITS Alloy products are a favorite among serious adventurers.
Samantha opted for a 1765mm tray paired with a 1000mm canopy. This combination provides the durability and storage needed for long trips into remote areas. The standard features of the MITS Alloy package are impressive on their own and include:
- 30L headboard water tank
- 1500mm undertray drawer
- Rear undertray toolboxes
- Flared mudguards
These features are a solid foundation for any touring enthusiast. But Samantha went the extra mile, customising her rig with accessories and upgrades that take this setup to the next level.
Off-Grid Capability with the Redarc Ultimate Electrical Package
One of the standout additions is the Redarc Ultimate Electrical Package, which ensures it can remain powered up no matter how remote her location. An essential electrical system is critical for extended off-grid adventures, and this package delivers all the essentials. The setup includes:
- 150Ah 12V Redarc Lithium Battery
- TVMS Rogue with RedVision Display
- Manager Alpha 50 Battery Management System
- 2000W inverter
- 180W solar panel
Additional features such as Hardkorr LED camp lighting, dual CIG/USB outlets, and an Anderson plug for fridge connection make this system incredibly versatile. Whether powering camping lights, running a fridge, or charging devices, Samantha’s rig is ready for life off the beaten track.
Practical Upgrades for Long-Haul Adventures
When exploring remote terrain, the details matter. Samantha’s build has been tailored with practical features that make a big difference during extended trips:
115L Upright Fridge
Samantha’s 115L upright fridge is ideal for keeping food and supplies fresh, even on longer journeys. Unlike traditional chest fridges, the upright design enhances accessibility and maximises space.
Dual Spare Wheel Carrier
Tyre trouble is inevitable when navigating rugged terrain. The dual spare wheel carrier ensures she’s well-prepared for emergencies, offering satisfaction on the road.
Central Locking & Color Coded Canopy Doors
To blend utility with stylish flair, Samantha added body-colored canopy doors in Sandy Taupe. Not only do they create a seamless look, but they’re also fitted with central locking for convenience and security.
Built for Self-Sufficiency
Water is one of the most critical resources when touring off the grid, and Samantha’s build has been designed with this in mind. Her MITS Alloy tray comes equipped with a standard 30L water tank integrated into the headboard. For those requiring more storage, MITS also offers a 60L undertray water tank option, with a customisable drawer system to ensure plenty of adaptability. On any off-grid adventure, having enough water can make all the difference, and this setup provides the flexibility to meet different needs.
A Stylish Yet Rugged Finish
While functionality takes center stage in Samantha’s 79 Series, her attention to detail also ensures the build turns heads. The Sandy Taupe color-coded canopy doors give the rig a cohesive, professional look, while maintaining all the toughness needed to handle harsh environments. It’s this perfect balance of form and function that makes Samantha’s setup both stylish and capable, proving that utility doesn’t mean compromising appearance.
Why Samantha’s Build Inspires
Samantha’s 79 Series is an excellent example of how thoughtful design and smart upgrades can transform a vehicle into the ultimate touring companion. From the robust MITS Alloy tray and canopy package to the off-grid capabilities provided by Redarc’s comprehensive electrical system, every element of this build has been carefully selected for real-world use.
