Mission Dawn Patrol

Just been doing a bunch of wiring and planning out some other stuff. It's been kind of slow since I went to the football game. I have a wedding to go to this weekend with a bunch of family coming in; so this weekend is going to be busy too.

Put the terminal blocks in and connected a few things. Fridge, DVR, 7" monitor, microwave and inverter all work now.

Connected the other switch panel

looming going around the corner.

Battery separator in. I need to go get some more cable to connect it to the start batteries.

Put the compressor in too. I strolled around harbor freight and found some standing pads for cheap. I thought they would work perfect to reduce the vibration of the compressor.

2 Gallon Tank mounted by the fuel tank. One quick disconnect is under the drivers side front bumper, the other is in the back drivers side. I'll get better pics tomorrow during the day.

K didn't get much done today, it's been raining all day. Here's some day shots of how I ran the air hoses.

The rear is on a swivel right on the little piece that's a crease behind the bumper.

The front is easily accessible under the front bumper.

I know the wiring is completely overkill; that's what happens when a comm guy has to do an electrical job. I over engineered the **** out of it and almost regret it. However I made it so it's so completely easy to add new stuff or switch an accessory to a different switch. All you'll have to do is move the accessory on the terminal block.

Relays

Premade some wires to go from the fuse blocks to the relays and the relay to the terminal block. Just waiting for the rain to stop. I'm playing golf with my dad, uncle, and cousin tomorrow and the SECCG is on saturday so I'm not sure how much I'll get done this weekend.

What brand/model is the compressor?

 

[guidolyons]

Looks like the ARB Twin Air compressor CKMTA12

 

[volcomsurfer]

yup

I got some more electrical stuff done today. The awning is working great as rain cover.

Looking at it now, it's so much overkill. But anything worth doing is worth over doing. I just hope the next owner appreciates how easy I made it for them in the future.

I think I just passed you on US1 between Melb and Cocoa. Looks good.

Edit: and again a few hundred yards from my house near Gus Hipp.

Didn't realize you were local.

Jealous of wiring. Also, not jealous of the work you had to do to make it look like that.
