Hi Wayne,
are you getting a WDH with the Triton? What about a Anderson Plug to keep your fridge cold during travelling?
Have you a brake controller for the Triton? A lot of members use Hayman Reese or Prodigy controllers.
Cheers Deano

Hi Deano, in the short term I am just going to run the flat 12 pin plug to keep the fridge cold whilst travelling, and the brake contoller the local Auto Elec. installs Redarc, which is booked in next Thursday. Even thou wires have to be run down the back for the 12 pin plug, and with the Anderson Plug not an option on the van I havent really decided to go down that path yet, still scanning all the threads for advice and opinions to get my head around how the 90w solar pack will affect things.
The delivery date for the van had come around quicker than first quoted :) and with work so busy I am battling to get time and really nut things out. We are keeping our eye out for the new Prado Altitude which is due to be released within the next month (apparently the dealer said!). So when that comes out we will make more permanent decisions then. So the delivery of van and release of new Prado are going to coincide:( at this stage which have thrown a spanner in the works for concrete decisions.
And I will be getting a WDH for the Triton in the short term, just for a piece of mind.
