Any idea on the dome panel LED draw?
I added a couple strip LEDs under the gutter line. They wrap around the back of the truck and wires run into the flip gate gap. I am thinking of running them into the dome light circuit. Ebay has a variety of them, some with controllers, different colors, etc. I think I've seen a wireless mod for them too. These were $10-15 for a 15ft(?) strip.
Camp setup in the dark is AWESOME with these!
Dude, that is awesome, just found some on ebay that have yellow as an option. Which I would assume is the same as having a yellow bulb in your outdoor light, which attracts less bugs. Never thought of running it to the rear interior light, and the same could be done for an interior set with a toggle switch in the line so you could turn those off seperately when not in the rig. This is on the list now, thanks for sharing.
Installed another ciggie lighter plug, using 50A wire straight to the battery, via relay and fuse for power inverter and hand held spotlight, and other power demanding demanding devices.. Solves the problem of not enough power running through original ciggie lighter..
Camping awning. Couple of eyebolts in my old thule rack and some Coleman tent poles. The ratcheting tension lines I had from my thule kayak rack. I think I spent 20 bucks on the poles.
I'm assuming you already had the awning fabric, what is it?

This concerns me. Those sockets and receptacles aren't designed for that much current. If they are getting hot you're drawing too much power thru them.
Alternatives would be Weatherpack/Metri-Pack/Duetch (sp?) up to not much more than what the power points will do, and then Anderson Power connectors for anything beyond that. The DIN std plugs and receptacles used on BMW motorcycles may be rated for more, don't know too much about them.
I agree... but if it is fused at 20a or so it might be ok?
It's just a 6x8' tarp I think I paid 5-10 bucks a while ago
It depends what the socket is rated for. You want to fuse probably 5A less than what the socket / receptacle is rated for to avoid damage to the circuit / hardware.
$8 for a star opener. Keeps me from using my teeth or the rear bumper.
Man that's a deal!

No cup holder? No problem.
Since out trucks are from the 80s, we need an 80s cup holder.
