    Where to Run Cable

    I am putting a 2nd battery in the boot of the Disco. Where is the best place to run the cable?

    Why are you putting the battery in the boot ? Disco 2 I presume.

    I ran some thick cables to the back to run the fridge - It just runs along the chassis rails in some of that 19mm poly pipe you get for drip irrigation systems. There shud be some pre-punched holes going up into the rear loadspace area with rubber caps over them - i just cut a slit through one of those and pushed the cable up through it. Silastic it up if you intend doing any wading.

    Look at the High Current Extenion kit from http://www.traxide.com.au/DBS.html

    The details on the kit don't come up yet - Tim is aware of the problem and is fixing it.

    On the P38A, I ran the cable along the chassis rails and came up through a blanking plug that was in the rear quarter panel. Quite easy, really.

    As an aside, I just noticed that Traxide's price on 50A Anderson plugs is less than half what Jaycar charge!

    Ditto the dust covers to suit!

    I'll be contacting Tim poste haste.

    Late edit: Incisor also sell the plugs at half the Jaycar price.

    aka blanking grommet

    A plastic or rubber plug that fills circular holes on panels. Often a seen in floors, firewalls, etc. They are in the rear quarter of the RR and the trailer wiring passes through them.
