@Smirke Yep that's the setec, and ours is in the same spot. There is an empty space under the seat that looks like its screaming out to be filled with a second battery.

Kept an eye out for you on the Forrest Hwy on the Friday @Shane Norwell .... Must have missed you as I didn't see anyone with a grin from ear to ear heading south 
Looks great and some early mods! Our setec and battery are located under the dinette seat also with room to fit a second battery but SHHHH Mrs Dagree might find out

Nice mate. Would've liked the outback but this one came up as a deal we couldn't refuse, oh well more fun modding it.
I shove a tape up the alko leg and theres an obstruction about 2 inch in .... what is it and howd you get shs past it
I assume what you hit is the threaded rod that would wind the inner section out to extend the legs, the 30x30 I used slides around that, if you know what I mean.

Got the new batteries in tonight with a little "help" from my 5 year old daughter, they fit beautifully in there with a perfect spot left for the ctek d250s and the projecta 1800w inverter.
It looks close but there is about 50mm of clearance between the terminals and the cross bars.

@Shane Norwell youve certainly hit the ground running. Obviously been mentally stocking up on mods. Youve almost rebuilt the van in a month ... and im likely everything your doing
Thanks mate. Yeh we had our last van for about 12 years so we had a very good idea of what we wanted our of this one, that and the fact I can't level anything alone.
So a little more progress today on the media system, got the hdmi cables run and hdmi splitter in place. Just waiting for the 12v power supply to deliver clean 12v for the nas and router, for this coming weekend we're staying in a park so it'll all be run from their own power pack off 240v
3tb nas hard drive networked back to the house to backup everything, wd Rv live media player and wireless access point to join it all together,
Having the wireless allows me to A: use my iPhone as a remote for the whole show and B: the kids can watch anything on an iPad either in the car while travelling or in their bunks on the very odd occasion.
Also fitted the outside bracket for the telly, just lift the Rv off the bracket inside and hook it into this one.
And finally the hdmi splitter so you don't have to chop and change cables to use the tv inside or out.

Well got another couple of projects out of the way, first was the victory battery monitor, $195 delivered and works a treat to give you all the info you want.
The shunt
And the display.
Then it was time for the solar, I had a couple of panels from a previous setup and picked up another 200w today.
200w mounted across the rear a pair of 120w down the passenger side and an 80w on the drivers side. Fits perfect around everything, even the stupid location jayco mount the solar prewire box
And the ctek d250s mounted right next to the batteries.
Don't mind the messy wires, all will be tidied up once the wiring is finished. Only the 1000ish w pure sine inverter to go which will be wired in with a changeover switch to power all power points for toaster and microwave.

You sure have been busy @Shane Norwell you have enough solar there to power a small town, nice work :thumb:
520w !!!!! how many batteries ?
I think @Gadgets 21.63.1 has more , i think its him , maybe you guys can power a small nation together !

Hey mate. Yeh I think gadget is around the same. I'm running 270ah of batteries so should have it covered
I hate generators and it bugs me having to constantly worry about running batteries low, with this much solar even on an overcast week we should be more than fine
Couple more mods finished up today.
Put in a night light for the kids, had a couple of blue clearance lights in the shed so I put one up in the top corner of the bathroom so it lights up the kids end of the van without being ridiculously bright.
I also finished my stone guard on the front of the van and hung the rubber.
And I received my security cable from gg for the webber, I had one eyelet made big enough for the gas bayonet to fit through so I could tape the cable to the hose and still thread the cable through itself.
