Ooh, a gas box, that makes sense.

The stuff they use for transits. I think it might be causing the paint to crack :run

Started to do a bit of the 12v side of the electrics wanted it all bar the propex controller hidden in a cupboard, and even then I don't want to see any wires, will see the ends of the solar controller ones but that's it!

Theres a isolator key (so I can switch everything off completly), an 8 way fuse box and the solar controller
