Very nice!!!
is that a camera mounted below the numberplate in the 4th photo?

Sure is.... I have a riewview mirror that has a GPS and camera function.... there is one camera on the rear of the Tug, pointing directly at the hitch and then that one at the rear. Which ever camera is selected comes on in reverse or with the flick of a switch i can monitor both cameras whilst driving. The Caravan cam has measurements on the screen so i can see how far away an object is when reversing. I only drilled one hole in the beloved Expanda just behind the number plate for the cable, I siliconed the camera on just in case I didn't like its position.

Hi Bigman,

We pick up our van on Fri. Is the bracket for your TV a single or double arm bracket. It's a good spot for the TV.

Bet you can't wait!! its a dual arm bracket, Jayco supplied. It folds back and has a bracket to secure it in place when travelling. I thought that the TV would be going on the bench on the left as you enter, but the position its in now is more practical.

Hi Bigman,

We picked up our van on Friday the same as yours. Just looking at your photos of the bracket for the TV and wondering where the bracket is attached to as we have solar on our van as well.

G'day Bigman did you want the battery monitor just to keep an eye on the battery Voltage?

Nar... I have that on the solar controler and the battery/tank gauge. I was after what that product does, time left, current amps and low voltage alarm. I have bought it anyway and will tell you all how it goes.. there was only one left and I couldn't wait... :decision:

Installed my external Anderson plug for my external solar panels today, works awesome!! Had the 120w panel on the roof in the shade and the 120w external foldup in the sun and the external was pumping in 5.5Amps and the one on the roof 3.8amps. Can't wait for this weekend to see how they both go in the sun, should be over 10amps in easy.
