<<UPDATE>>
During our recent trip to Mabuasehube [Trans Kgalagadi Nat Park] and CKGR [Central Kalahari Game Reserve] one of my travel buddies had a few issues with his 12V Electrical system on his Troopy.
We had to remove his front seat to gain access to test, fault~find and work on the system, this prompted a complete rethink on my behalf.
At the time of building my Troopy I thought it would be a good idea to position all of the 12V system inside the unused space in the body panel sidewall behind the drivers front seat. At the time I thought "brilliant" out of the way and doesnt take up any panel or drawer space, which is (was) perfect cos to date the system has worked 110%, but
"What If??" it gives trouble and needs to be worked on, it then becomes near on impossible to gain access to work on the system without removing (a) my tools and spares box and (b) the battery and clothes box, which would be a mammoth task.
School fees ! ! ! ! Time to move the electrickery system and place for easier access - if needed, but where??
Now - I cant wait for the Troopy Trip that we have planned for early in May - 5 x Troopys Tripping - Namakwa 4x4 eco trail Orange River ZA
This is the electrickery panel mounted in the body panel sidewall behind drivers front seat.
With some jiggling, juggling and lowering, we managed to re-mount all of the electrickery panel and inverter to the front panel of the battery box (that houses the 218AH Lith Ion Batt) directly behind the drivers seat, without jeopardizing seat driving position. Now if ever the need arrises to work on the system, its just a matter of sliding seat forwards and tilting the seat backrest forwards as well.
