Good day to you all.
Next on my list (of ever increasing items) is looking at getting the installation of some camping lights. What I mean by this is some lights attached to the roof rack at the side that I'll use for general illumination whilst camping - there will probably be some side lights and a rear light (for when I'm using the rear table). Whilst I've not got any worries in obtaining the lights, how to wire them, fuse them, how to fix them to the roof rack, etc what I'm not too sure about is the route that the cabling will take and how to make the roof rack removable.
General concept is:
Leisure Battery
│
└── Fuse ──── On/Off
switch
│
└── Wireless Controller
│
├─ Fuse ─ Light 1 (Passenger side)
├─ Fuse ─ Light 2 (Rear)
├─ Fuse ─ Light 3 (Drivers side)
└─ Fuse ─ spare (possibly under bonnet)
I'm after some ideas from the brains on this forum, and to know what has worked for you and what hasn't. What my 'plan' is it to have the lights installed on the roof rack and to be able to 'unplug' the roof rack and remove it when not in use - so some sort of connection(s) will be required that will also have to be waterproof. I'm going to be controlling the lights via a remote control, via a wireless controller with 4 outputs, so I can switch on/off the lights I require easily and without constantly going in/out of he truck.
Any ideas on the type of connector and where to mount it / run the cables up to the roof rack?? I've no snorkel, so that option is not on the table.
Thanks in advance
