    in the last 2 weeks we have been doing more of the little things that pop up..our auto sparky from hell put 8 hours in over 2 weekends and got all the fog lights,driving lights,h4 headlights and reversing camera working with numerous relays mounted to make sure our lights are bright.he also wired up the cd/dvd so reverse camera works.
    he put some fandangled solinoid thingo in the engone bay to operate the 2 batteries so they automatically cut in and out so no switching of batteries needed before or after camping.
    we have spent a few hours screwin around with fuel gauges to suit the sender unit in the oversized alloy fuel tank i got from a wb van wreck..
    finally today we had success by removing the sender from the sinbox and putting it in the big van..turns out that someone had modded the sender using a commodore one for some reason..dont matter now as we have it working using an hx fuel gauge sitting under the dash for the time being..
    we wired up 4 speakers this arvo so radio/cd player has noise.
    also mounted a reverse spot light which doubles as a light to find the beer in the esky.
    fitted all new power points in the van as well as they were a bit worn out.
    2 more days before we head to bathurst..will update with pics before we head off on thursday morning..

    Park in line with a camera so we can see you on your deck chair on the roof....

    tomorrow we go to bathurst..all loaded and ready and the van is finished to this point..still more to do but thats all pretty stuff like paint and the wiring to plug cd/dvd to tv..we were short by a couple of foot and figured we would finish it later as we dont need to watch dvds at bathurst..
