Looks good, John!
We'll be at McKinney tonight after work if the fit takes you and you feel like camping.

Probably. We went out wheeling the past two weekends ---- shaking out the new bumper and lights. This weekend is all about soaking up rays and quality relaxing.
The dog likes to swim too. Can't neglect the dog.
Bring the yak and a 12-pack...

I ended up going to Tennessee. Spent a couple of nights up near Sylco along 221. Bout got run over by a herd of hogs around 11 Friday night. There were at least twenty of them. Got a good close up on this rattler too.
Here's camp.

Yikes.
Most people don't know how dangerous hogs can be ---- I got chased by a sow one time and just barely got away from her....
The lake was gorgeous, John. Like glass. Perfect temperatures.

Beach driving at Corolla, NC. 2015. You can see the trailer in the side mirror at :20. I'm still working on editing video and pictures from that trip. I'll try to add more and better trailer footage later. I'm just learning how to use Movie Maker and Youtube to deal with videos. Sorry for the crappy first go at video/audio editing, it'll get better.

Here is a shot of the days work load. I installed a new inverter and cleaned up some wiring on that side of the box, then started work on wiring the area lighting, tent power and lights, tongue box and tub lights. I had two Boston Butts smoking on the grill and couldn't go anywhere for 12 hours.
Cutting in the Blue Sea 4 position switch panel.
Perfect fit.
With Cover on.
The cut out.
All done. I forgot to put the fuse box cover on, just noticed that. Ha.
Tongue box lights. I used a Marine grade LED lighting strip that has a sticky back. So easy!
Area lights. I used a Northern Tool Ironton Square LED Work Light set that I got on sale. They are brighter than I expected, but I'm ok with that. I had to make some custom mounts so the lights could be adjusted in the field without tools. I'll get some pictures of that and post them up later.
Tent lights. Marine LED Light strip on the top cross bar. I can control the tent and future front area lighting from the control box I made.
Tub lights. Again, the Marine Grade LED strip. There is a switch box mounted in the Lid of the Tub. I turn on main power from the Tongue box and can switch at the tub when needed. I put the tongue and tub switches in series so I can make sure it's off when closed.
That's about all for now.
I forgot to post the Pulled Pork picture. Mmmmmm good. Just a light dry rub and smoke over some apple wood chunks. Moistened with apple juice every so often.
