Been watching this build from the side lines for a long time, and look forward to seeing it in the flesh at a JOC event sometime soon. Great that it is used as a family camp set up, which is exactly what I have in mind for extended family camp trips for kids off the beaten track before weaning them onto wild camping. Have you got the draws sorted yet? Thanks Paolo , I have a set of drawers in it now. Not sure if I’ll keep them too long though. Think I’ll have a custom set made and get a drop fridge slide and slide out table incorporated and use all the space in the rear I can in storage. We use a fabrication firm at work who I’m sure can knock up what I’m after fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisby Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 Been a while since I did much to the Jeep other than MOT it and replace all the ball joins with new Teraflex adjustable and guessable ones at the start of the year . Jeeps pretty much not moved since March when I did a weekend in Wales with a friend. So whilst it’s crazy hot and I’m in the UK thought I’d start to get on top of the 12v system . I’d previously had a second Optima D31a battery with a smart pass feed from the starter battery and a small inverter to keep the ARB fridge going but really fancied a decent 12v system to run other things. After a lot of thinking about it, I decided that I’d go for a nice and neat option of having a “Solar Generator “ smart system and 3 flexible solar panels. Old smart pass now feed the unit via the 12v input when driving and the solar ( which will be fitted on the roof tent )also tops up at the same time. When parked I unfold the two extra panels to really keep things topped up. The battery has various outlets from its inbuilt inverter including 240v AC which has a 2000w limit. ARB runs from its 12v outlet and in total I have 2080 WH capacity. All neat and tidy in one unit which I’m very please with so far. Also the battery is portable so you can take it anywhere to use , currently it’s running my ARB on our deck to ensure i stay hydrated and don’t have to send the wife to keep getting me a beer very easy way inter power in your Jeep as there are many sizes of these type of systems out there . Takes about 2/3 hours to fully charge from a 240 socket at home and the display lets you see how long the battery will last given and load from connected items .
