The part of a canopy you admire in photos isn’t what keeps your gear running on a remote track. The real performance — and the real problems — are always hidden behind the panels. That’s where a high-quality build either proves itself or falls apart.
A reliable touring setup starts with electrical work that’s done properly, not quickly. Clean wiring, correct fusing, quality components, and a battery system that actually keeps up with your fridge, lighting, chargers and accessories. We build electrical layouts that are tidy, accessible, and future-proof — so adding gear later doesn’t turn into a nightmare. No spaghetti wiring. No shortcuts. No “she’ll be right” guessing.
Serious touring demands power that won’t let you down. That’s why we use proper cable gauges, sealed connections, smart battery systems, and solar options that actually deliver consistent charge. It’s the difference between a cold beer at camp… and a dead fridge half a day into your trip.
Then there’s the fitment — where most cheap canopies fail long before the wiring does. A 79 Series chassis has its own flex and quirks, and if the canopy isn’t mounted correctly, you end up with stress cracks, alignment issues, and a dust leak that coats every item you own. Our installs are aligned, torqued, tested and inspected: panel fit, seal integrity, flex points, electrical load, and a proper road test to make sure nothing rubs, rattles or shifts on corrugations.
This is the work most budget builders don’t talk about.
It’s also why some canopies rarely survive real touring.
A WKND Warriors canopy is built for the long haul — the heat, the corrugations, the salt air, the constant vibration and the long WA kilometres. It’s engineered for people who actually use their 79, not just park it for photos.
When you invest in a canopy, it’s the unseen work that matters most.
And that’s where WKND Warriors refuses to compromise.
