This is awesome. Do you have a wiring schematic?
Does this allow for the Alternator to charge up while driving?
Does this allow for a Solar hookup when your stopped?
And I imagine the plugs up top is for something like a fridge.
I really like this set up, please share what goes into building something like this. I have zero electrical experience but would like to learn more.
@TreatSmash, is that a water bladder? If so, any details would be appreciated. Been trying to think of a better solution than our current setup of a 6gal jug behind the drivers seat. It about drives me nuts listening to it slosh around back there.
Found it, Fleximake?

Yes it's 35L bladder.

I drilled out 2 holes in the wing face, added some grommets and the hoses come with the bladder.
Figuring out how to get the water into the bladder was more difficult, I settled on one of those pumps that you attach to your drill and I made a little hose extension to put on when I'm pumping.
It's gravity feed and it works great.
Thanks, sure are pricey but pretty sure I need one of those! Was wondering about the fill operation… gotta love a drill pump.

Well I had visions of a 12v pump AND if I could have found one that was bi-directional that's probably what I would be using, but between not really finding what I wanted and there being a lack of space (I also considered removing the AC unit in the rear and putting one in there) I just went with the drill method which is nactually really fast and easy. It'll pump 5 gallons in like 30 seconds man.

What was your method for cleaning the metal parts? Sandblast/wire wheel or just rust converter paint over the top?
I sanded them, used rust converter and painted them with a grey rust oleum paint. I still have to paint the back sides.
I've had one on my house for a couple of years. It's been great. I am curious how you plan to implement it in the cruiser.
The 200 series group has a thread or two on that also: Starlink RV roaming version, initial test - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/starlink-rv-roaming-version-initial-test.1285330/
Great time to put down some sound and heat insulation. The transmission tunnel usually gets pretty hot and ruins any fizzy drinks in the cup holders!

You guys are the worst now I am going to have to pull mine apart....
dont you love how things just gets more and more involved when it started out so simple and "easy"
@TreatSmash how functional is the refrigerator behind the passenger seat? I like that your head is as far away from it as possible when racked out.
