Well after a 7000km 7 day extended trip aus post has finally delivered the rest of my gear..
Got the new controller in.
Boy it feels so much more solid than the old one..
Pannel on maybe tomorrow night..

[BigRAWesty]

Here we are.
120L in 2 tanks with full width stone sheilds on both..
Straps are offset to one side as the tanks are not full width and are actually centered to the straps..

Ow and the big 200w pannel on the roof.
Pic is just sitting there but is now down with sikaflex 291 marine grade adhesive..

[BigRAWesty]

Wiring complete..

Augh yea i read that now.
The stone gaurds though completely cradle the tanks between tank and strap.
1 mill steel with 100mm fold up the front and 50 at the rear.
Ill keep an eye on it and if the metal starts to deforme ill throw some ply in it aswell..

It spreads the load evenly and holds the tank more securely you can buy them from
"huntsmans Trailers" but with your contacts etc you could get a Gal one knocked up in no time.
I'll be fitting my water tank with the full tank protection before I disappear off the planet for a while.
Start leaking water in the hot out back could turn nasty, you know the rules stainless fittings and Nylock
nuts washers etc. some insertion rubber to stop steel on steel is always a good idea, wheres the number plate light???
