Great! Hope it all works well for you! :thumbup:

I have a couple of 12v / 2.4A gate motor batteries that I use just for LED's when camping. Had 6 led lamp units going, connected my 800W inverter to the deep-cycle in the bakkie and ran an extension cable into the house to power the TV, PC and router ..... the load shedding was no real inconvenience for us. ;-)
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
