Been wanting to get this done, got a 4 days trip to Coyotes Flat near Bishop, CA coming up in 9 days and shooting for completion a day or two by then.

1. Eezi Awn K-9 2M Rack
2. Bat wing 270 awning
3. Permanent rid of the smaller rear seat and build an enclosure with factory carpeting to house either a group 31 Diehard Platinum or two Yellow top Group 34 batteries as auxiliary to power my 63 QT ARB Fridge, my new acquired 1000W pure sine wave inverter and accessories.
4. Raise my aluminum frame cargo and sleep platform originally built by Dave of TrekBoxx so I can place by ARB fridge under it and on the ARB sliders that I just ordered.
5. Fabricate 2 inch front receiver hitch in order to mount my Warn Zeon 10s when in need.

I am keeping my fingers crosses that all the goodies will arrive on time so I can have more fun on the trip.

Thank you, I can't really take the credits. my buddy whom I have wheeled with for almost 20 years is the fabricator from my ideas and inputs.

Tomorrow should be done with the enclosure carpeted and electrical cables wired up.

Awaiting the roof rack and awning to arrive for installation on Saturday.

Is the battery bank positioned such that you have access to the inverter under the tent?
 
Yes, we thought of everything from accessibility to having to remove batteries with minimal efforts. Here is more pix.

Sorry what tent are you referring to? I have a RTT on top of my off road trailer.

For the moment... Lol
 
Nevermind... I thought you might have a RTT with access to the passenger side.

Most second batteries I've seen are mounted in the back.
