Next up camping trial. See how it all works in reality. But think this will become a great setup!

Out of pure interest, why go for the Jurgens XT as a base?

I like the XT 120 and 140. Still feels a bit like a trailer that I need to lift the lid(Been there with a cheap campmaster) to remove large items. Would possibly consider a base as something like the echo or conqueror. Something that is meant to be accessible from the outside only.

Being said they are normally very high to climb into and centre of mass is also high. And you can definitely make a XT140 accessible without lifting the lid ever. But takes more work and meticulous planning.

Hence the question…

So fitting all various color Brad Harris plugs and connecting everything
Just for Quick reference I installed a volt guage on my Solar input line for quick glance of the eye I know I got power going in

Removed one shelf and I climbed in to the hull of the trailer and final connections

Linned the original Battery box with Carpet and coverd the lid with carpet for a nice Stowaway space

After removing a frame that held Wash and dry bucket from the rear top drawer I fitted 4 Ammocrates and a stopper
Then had a small space left
Built a small carpeted box for loose items
