1. Ironman snorkel
2. Dual battery system - lithium blue nova in national luna power pack dc25 with victron shunt and ACDC 15amp charger
3. DIYish drawer system made of PVC sheet, it is light in weight
4. Front runner water tank with pump.
Can you share some more details on your drawer system construction process. Photos will be great as i am more of a visual person.
Unfortunately I didn't take any pics during the process. I bought the PVC sheet at leroy merlin in forways.
Regards
Rahul

Did some mods for camping.

Fridge slider
More storage and panels around the fridge. Idea was create some space on top to load chairs, solar panel etc...
Barn door table
RTT and Awning

I am hoping I don't have to install load springs at the bag.

Hi Tinus, so far it's awesome. Engine is definitely taking it easy uphill and feels lot smoother. I hardly feel the gear changes.
In December I am going to Namibia. Will get a better feel and then provide a comprehensive analysis of this change.

Rahul

How do you find the LED Headlamps? Do you get any interference over the radio when you turn the lights on?

Hi Ricster, nothing so far. It's doesn't seem to be interfering with anything. Link for the lights below.
