Good work happy john. I don't think people realise quite how much space is behind the seat.

After fitting a safari snorkle on purchase of my 22 i lost the front tray due to the huge intake tube as per attached pic i rewired the starter battery and fitted a 710cca 155rc century battery. The aux battery i placed in the tub like us all but it was always a pain when loaded so i looked for other ideas, under the tub possible but hard work and only a small capacity battery. I decided to look at slimline agm batteries they are 100% safe in caravans and cars as they do not give out any gas on charge and can be placed on any angle even upside down. This is what i came up with slimline agm fitted behind the rear seats of the 22 d/c battery is 500mm long 120mm wide 240mm high,120amp hour. As you will see in the pic's if fits great in a wasted space it would be possible to relocate the jack and fit two if you needed the capacity. After all this i decided to fill in that wasted space in the dash that fits cards the solution duel volt meters all was done safely circuit breakers front and rear waterproof sockets on bullbar and tub also rewired internal socket all double fused. Hope this is of help to you all as it has worked so well for a long time for me if anybody else needs to free up some space here you go.
