What did you do to your Patrol today!

[threedogs]

gave it a bit of a pressure wash underneath but had a bit of a moment with the pressure gun and blew some paint off the passenger door

Lesson here is don't clean where you cant see lol

Ideas please,, brought this 12v PIR floodlight, I have two ways of doing it.
Either mount it solid and wire to a switch somewhere or terminate it at a plug
ang just plug in at camp. Last is to make up a 3-4mtr lead and a bracket so
it hooks over the top rail of the roofrack and plug into the rear 12v outlet.
Thinking it will be OK at the back of the Patrol and light up as I approach.
thats the idea anyway


TIP<<<<<If you want the best 12 volt camp light going buy the 12v ROUND floodlights with the flat glass lens
One lights up my entire backyard, so much so I light my backyard with a few via a golfcart DC battery 18 AH
Highly recommend and less than $15 in most cases, forget the 20watt jobs they are not required
Ive been using these well over 5 yrs now.

That would be handy under the awning of my camper.
We just use torches.

Ill grab a link of the round ones, believe me these are the bees knees
and they are fully water proof to IP65.
you need to mount them up high at least 2.5mtrs they are that bright
For your annex maybe a warm white might be a better colour or put in a dimmer I did
$15 you cant go wroung ,,,dont get the ones with the magnified lens Yuk

It's just one more thing to set up though. I like to KISS

A mate stuck some led strip lighting under his awning and works well. Only setting up is running the lead into the rear power supply

Thats what I have for the awning easy as in white ,only trouble is the cool white needs a dimmer
those bloody small smd leds are bright as.

I use those flood lights when cooking and general campsite lighting.
If I want I can take them down to the banks of the river with my 18ah battery in a box
set my chair up and fish the night away,,,heres a cheaper one

Is it a cover up from previous damage, or just paint came off.

[Stropp]

nah just the paint
