Hey there, I just got my second Patrol on dual fuel. Always missed the first one when she went.

Just prepping her for a trip to Qld (a bit nervous as we barely know each other yet - checking everything over). Wondering if anyone has found a good location for an auxilliary battery, with so little space under the bonnet with LPG fitted?

Not much room in there with Dual Fuel, Still havnt worked out how to instal one under the Bonnet.
A sealed unit in the Cargo area about the only solution

Forget PM, back now, according to the book at TJM, the aux battery for petrol model [not sure of ABS models]
is in the right rear of engine bay in front of the passenger. No doubt this is where the convertor is fitted.
You may need to shuffle a few things around to fit the AUX tray.
remember to keep the convertor as high as poss. Have a good look first to see where things can be moved to
Other outlets would be similar I would think.
