The first thing that came to my little mine was "Casper" sounds like a good name for a TD if you have hidden him behind the carpet he may appear at night only.

[Rusty drop]

I got a lot to do,, I just received the two windows, a small cargo door for the tongue compartment, a larger cargo door for.... that's a surprice, I cant tell you yet,, stop light, got to finish the doors, get battery,, etc, etc.. but I'm very excited on how everything is coming along..

"sorry,, I had to steal some ideas. "

Remember plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery

To steal one persons Idea is called plagiarosm to steal many peoples ideas is called research.

Im doing lots of research on this site

[Rusty drop]

Well, I hope everybody feels the same way about "borrowing" ideas
anyways, this is what I did the in the past days.

I finally received the small cargo door and right away built this small tongue box. (excuse the mess, I was just done)


In it, I installed the charger, gel battery, inverter , breaker/gfci box and inlet/outlet for electricity..

Inside the box there is also a DPDT (Double pole Double throw) relay that will automatically will switch between electricity from the battery/inverter to site electricity as soon as the cord gets connected. this will save me from switching them on or off manually.
it was a little nerv wreaking to wire it, since I am no profecional, but luckly everything went as planned. now I just have to run the wires to the cabin and galley.
