Well finally I received the water pump and the heater arrived early
I have fitted the heater and I am finishing off wiring the lights I have in. I have been looking for some new lights and I think I will get a strip light Of LEDs but is 2.88w a lot of draw or is that pretty good for a 1.2m long light strip? I think I will have a 1.2m one for the kitchen and maybe a 600mm one too which draws about 1.88w??
I am getting there and really can not wait to have the electrics all wired in I did a bit on the back of the board today too
Also placed the battery in to build an enclosed around it. Annoyingly I can not but it where Inwanted to to needing the weight at to he rear so I am going to build a storage locker in the rear along the left hand side and the space will be big enough for two batteries and I will be able to more the battery forward or back depending on the nose weight

Great progress Simon, my lights arrived today, so hopefully get them mounted tomorrow evening, water heater is here go, not got a pump yet , going to see what to do with it at Chepstow
Solar panel mount knocked up tonight, now sitting on top of the Prospeed ready to be wired into the Aux battery, it's a little R&R but will do for proof if concept run, cable should be run to the trailer thus weekend hopefullyAltox GSM FBH controller thread

Thanks Greg
Will the wattage for the lights be ok? (Previous post??) cheers

Lights wise, like many others have used the flexible runs of many SMD LED's eBay Item No. 271630423250 great light and very low power , the draw doesn't seem high on the ones you've mentioned, but the lower the better
I've got one of the lights on a gel golf trolley battery now to see his long it will run it for, I gave the battery in the trailer running all of the SMD lights Altox GSM FBH controller thread

About 5w for those you've mention divide by 12v and it's less than half an amp per hour use.
5w is the std interior light bulb in your d3 so nothing really. Bodsys Brake Bible

Awesome thanks Guys
So 2.8 is hardly anything that will do me then
Won't all be on at once anyway
Like the solar panel Greg I have had my eye on a few but need to just focus on getting everything fitted first and look at a new fridge 07 Java Black TD V6 D3, EGRs Blanked, Tow bar, Full dog guard & divider, LED Spots , DRLs, GG ATs, RLD Sump guard, RLD Spare Wheel Protector, D4 LED Rear Lights, Limo tints on boot and Midnight tint on rear windows, Kenwood screen with Garmin nav, Rear cameras, D4 Steering wheel with flappy paddles, T-max split charge system, Tree sliders, Prospeed roof rack & Ladder, Alisport fast road inter cooler,

Greg, what came with the panel, everything you needed to just attach to the battery?
If not, what else did you need to buy?
Love that trailer
And good work fitting the heater Simon Iggy/Ieuan
