My Rusty drop was a little depress because it did not like how it's butt looked, so it decided to go under the knife. it got a but lift. I like what I see now.

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. :twisted:

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

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)
Image

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.
