Ok sorry bob but I didn't get to finishing the drawing of my setup! It's a little detailed an well I got called to help mum with the computer
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
anyway latest additions to the build/camping setup....
Ark battery box! This is awesome for my camp lighting!! I need to work out what a voltage regulator is and how to add it into the line so I can charge the battery while I am driving, might just get a solar panel instead and have it happening when I setup.
Purchased an ultragauge! Still haven't set this up properly! I will get to it one day!!!
Dual battery link wasn't connected properly! So when I had a flat battery I was all excited cause I has the link switch and FAIL! Well I was told how to install it wrong! Fixed!
Draws are now nearly complete with the installation of some ply to keep things in place in the rear end, and also a power box/panel section which will house a power inverter, 2 accessory sockets, fridge socket. This is all connected via a fuse box. And Anderson plugs to make removal of the draws easy!

Bel and I made a bit of an investment! We finally purchased a decent tent! Well I have to say she bought a decent tent! The oztent rv5 with fly, ground mat, delux front panel, delux side panels. It's the works. And well seeing as she was buying that I got the guys to give me a deal on the foxwing awning with the tent connector!

I also got a high lift jack and shovel holder for the other side of the racks for my bday!
I made up a switch panel to go under the ash tray. It just wedges in.

I since added the switch for the reverse camera too! So now I have the option where the camera comes on in reverse or I can flick a switch while driving an there it is!
Which led me to wanting to change the way my switches were powered and also my accessories.
While I slowly kept adding more and more accessories to the lighter socket, I figured I might be overloading it by now. So I ran a wire from the battery to a relay which powers up a small 6 blade fuse box when I turn the lights on. This box is for switches lighting. I then tapped into a wire I had run into the cab for a previous mod and installed a second fuse box to run the accessories, this is also power via a relay that doesn't flick on until the lighter socket gets power.
Also tapped into the ground of the wire that I ran into the cab earlier and have sent all the grounds back to the battery now, instead of the dodgy job they were before.
Now I just need to tidy up the birds best behind the dash! I can see some custom looms being made!

And that's about all the recent mods for now! I'll try grab some pics this weekend while out camping!
Mods still to come:
Battery monitors
Fridge temp gauge
Water tank or the like.
Get the darn tub paint fixed from that stupid hard lid which includes paying to remove and re install canopy
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
Replace the reverse lights with the prestige Offroad ones
Some work lights off the back of the roofracks
Internal canopy frame
And maybe the 2 other best mods you can do
![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
lock up the front end and make it go fast
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
hoping for the go fast option before the end of year .... still deciding which way to go!
And I wouldn't mind some bigger driving lights at some stage...
