Great job on the carpet, looks very neat.

Question, I see back in the thread you added an anderson plug for the esc and battery. Are you running the fridge through the 12 pin?

Cheers.

Did you use the existing cable when getting the anderson hooked up for the fridge, or is that cable too light and ran fresh heavy cable to the fridge?
Just existing wire. I am going to check that we have power to the fridge. As its been cold the fridge temps have been good and I'm sure there is power there.

Thanks for that. I too will be looking at swapping fridge power out of the 12 pin to an anderson plug as one of the first mods. I already have an anderson on the triton, so it should be easy enough to remove the fridge cables from the van 12 pin and redirect them via a new anderson.

On ours they ran a heavier wire for the fridge it wasn't overly heavy but not the usual gauge. The thetford worked well enough on it so I never bothered to check it. But the plug did get hot and that was even after I shared the connection across two large pins each!

Got around to putting the lpg detector in. @Tone gave me a hand as I'm a bit of a 12v nuffy all wired through the setec. A handy inclusion.

Just a little mod to the hitch and @Stone Stomper .I have a dropshank hitch so went with the option of mounting the support bracket through the spare top hole on the hitch. Only problem with wanting to tighten up the bungee cords a bit it would pivot on the bolt so a u-bolt to the rescue. It's now nice and secure.

Hey mate, sorry if you have covered this already, but?
Does your tool box up front fit a webber and a genny you think?
