Hey guys So been looking Into doing the trip around Oz with my 2014 D40 yd25 140kw. Curious to see if many of you tow with yours? We are looking at a 2500kg caravan. What type of fuel economy do you get, how does it tow? Easy or does it struggle? Car is pretty loaded and heavy. With drawers...

Hey mate The D250S was the one I am looking at. It had one negative input. So I run a negative cable from my starter and plug it in to that point? Then the negative from the aux also? What about my solar setup run the positive to the solar section and the negative to the negative section...

Hey guys. So looking at doing this mod next weekend. Still undecided on the right dc to dc charger. What would you guys recommend? I have read mixed things about running a dc to sc charger after my intervolt isolator. Some say they could interfere with each other. But I'm not sure how. I...

Ok guys. So I did some tests on the voltage I get from those back wires. When the car is running I'm getting 14.7 v at the Anderson connection in the tub. To me, that is fine to not have a dc to dc charger in the tub, and just stick to my isolator. Is that correct?

So Tony. Reading over your setup again. How is yours all wired up? How does your aux battery link to your dual battery? How is it wired up? It's just another thing going through my head now haha. In all honesty by the sounds of it, a dc to dc charger sounds my easiest option. That's way I can...

So Tony what you are saying is that the earth that's in the tub now is no good? Need to run a cable from the negative on the starter to the battery in the tub? Then there is the wires are in the tub now, use the positive wire to connect up a dc to dc charger and from there to the positive of...

When you say the ctek will isolate the aux from the cranker. Isn't that what the intervolt isolated is doing now? I want to do away with the arkpac, until I sort out installing a genuine dual battery. Then I will look into the 3rd battery being the Arkpac. Just checked and the earth is ran...

Thank Tony I will definitely fuse anything that needs it! Keep it properly done it what I want! What would I need to get to do this setup properly mate? Remembering everything is wired up correctly to my Arkpac so far. Cheers

Cheers bud. That's correct mate, do away with the Arkpac as the dual battery. Wouldn't mind being able to connect it up to the dual battery at some point though for charging on big trips if possible. But that's another story. I would prefer to keep the intervolt isolator I have, as it's already...

Got myself a canopy!

Hey guys. I know there is a lot of threads around regarding dual battery systems, but my question is a little bit different. Hoping to get a little help from someone who knows there stuff about Dual Battery systems. I got mine installed a while back, with a InterVOLT isolator, with the dual...

Would it be just a case of changing the shocks bud? I tried to find info on these mate. Had no luck apart from their site which gave me nothing.

So as I have the suspension from the redline, with these unknown shock absorbers and planning some big trips. Should I change the shock absorbers to better ones or would that mean changing the whole suspension also? I'm not to mechanically minded guys, so not to sure what is involved.

Hey guys So does anyone use a TPMS? Is so are they worth it? And what's a good one to look for if I decide on getting one? Thanks

Descent guys? Or rubbish!
