She has to be my daily driver and I have limited space to park so much as I would like a larger van the shorty will do the job.

Stuck some panel vibration damper on it.


Smart split charge relay

I have started fitting up the electrics temporarily to see what I need exactly and where I want to mount it all, eventually it will all be hidden away.

Fairly heavy duty cable on the split charge relay because you can use it in an emergency to jump start the engine from the leisure battery, there is a big fuse at the front as well but it's in the battery box under the seat.

This is the solar controller, hopefully picking up my solar panel tomorrow or Tuesday, in the mean time it works as a battery monitor. You run your electrics though it and it automatically charges the battery (and directs power to your system if the battery is charged) and it can be set to shut everything down if the battery voltage gets to low to save damaging the battery, you can also set it on a timer in case you don't want things running overnight or whenever.

This is going to be the lighting in the back, these are 300 RGB LEDs on a 5m roll, while they can do lots of pretty colours and flash/fade effects they will do white and are dimmable, pull hardly any power and have a remote control, I may add some slightly warmer coloured spots for reading these can be a bit cold looking late at night.

Started stuff the van with insulation, have run out now but will get some more and carry on, can't get on with building any interior fixings until the panels are all done.

More pics as stuff develops.
