Been working strange hours of late, it was too late tonight to start fitting this up the neighbours would have loved me.
Ended up finding a final position for the Ctek charger. My original idea was to fit it into and IP56 enclosure to prevent any short circuits but unfortunately in the end it was too bulky.
This is where I plan on putting it. (held in with double sided tape)
Image
Just fits snuggly above the top of the fridge
Of course all the wiring need to be tidied up as it was only temporary until I could find a setup that I was happy with.
Cheers

Not only that Ross, but perhaps you need the steadying hand of Patrick Swayzee and then your welds would all be beer and skittles :lol: There you go i've nailed it. You should be aiming for beer and skittles, not friggen sunshine and lollipops :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Haha Ross Looked like Elmer Fudd did the wiring at the moment.
As for the box at the back of the fridge here is a close up of it.
Image
The yellow circle is the Corrs dimming unit which I managed to wire into the circuits as well to dim the LED lighting.
I've got two of these boards that control power and fusing here is the one at the back of the canopy.
Image
They consist of a Jaycar enclosure and a Bias Marine 3 switch/ fuse panel (don't use the Jaycar one that looks the same as it is crap) and some terminal blocks, and some cable glands to hold cable.
Here is the inside of the back one.

A close up of the Corrs LED dimming unit incorporated into the lighting wiring.
Image
A Corrs LED dimming unit in original plastic enclosure as a plug and play unit.
Image
They cost about $40 per panel to make, (without dimming unit or Cig lighter).
I do like the old fashion 3AG glass fuses and the holders as they are fairly robust and conceal all the contacts and the toggle switches are easily replaced if broken.

Don't know why your laughing mate, when you weren't looking I snuck it into your canopy in case the ranger came then took it back out and kept it after we left... ;) ;) ;)
