well its been a busy weekend and a few long nights but we are getting there..
this is were its up to
and hopfully this is what it should end up like in a couple of nights...
should do the trick
its all be designed so its removable in sections so i can just have the side loackers or the cage et etc. and put it into another land rover if need be
oh and dont forget he beers..
and a split charge system so we can pull up lock one of the batts off and drain the other one over night on the fridge and laptop etc etc then in the morning swith the other batt back on and start the truck and then charge them both up

Aha! Dometic fridge. I've got one the same. Do you find it's better on gas than on battery?

erm i thought electric was better.. ran great on the 12 volt system.. but on gas it needs to be level, if its 7o out it wont work with the condensation process it does. but stick a spirit level on it and wedge underneath it to level it at camp and it should be fine.
although iv not tryed it fully loaded with food so the electric v's gas might be diffrent.
