2. Most of the modifications I will describe in this occasional series are personal to me and may horrify some, but inspire others. Just be aware of your own level of competency and ensure that whatever you do, it is safe and within your capabilities.
I last described the “anti-head-banging-protectors” for cab and doorway. So let’s progress a little… This may need your garage or auto-electrician to sort but it’s a straightforward modification that could save you a flat battery.
Ask ‘your man’ to swap the cigar lighter feeds from the starter (base vehicle) battery to the habitation battery. This now means that you will have constant habitation battery 12 volt sources in the cab, with the ability to gaily plug in whatever 12 volt device you want and not run the risk of flattening the starter battery. Nice, when you’re maybe parked up for a few days, not on mains electricity, and want to charge up or run various devices in the cab – peace of mind.
