 For the record, Chris’ sand anchor really sucked 🤣
The sand anchor is not a camping piece :? :?

On really sandy camp sites you can tie your tent to it.

Being in Cape Town we do not have many camp sites left with grass

Next up, my second battery charge indicator, complete with low voltage dropout (10.9 volt) a switch to turn all the plugs off at once. There is 2 lighter sockets, an anderson socket, and also a hella socket.

All fused.

That’s clever for a bakkie, because you need to be a contortionist to get to the back of a bakkie cab under normal circumstances

Yeah.

As you can see I am making something on that drawer. I started a week ago, but spent maybe 3 hours in total on it, that includes planning... Planning is usually just an on the fly situation...

Okay gents and ladies. I have purchased the materials to build a single drawer system to go next to my fridge slide/box in anticipation of the River Trip.

I have purchased the Connect-It goodies and some Alu tubing and Chromadek sheeting.

Hopefully I can start fabricating on the weekend and show some pics of my progress.
