OK gent, last question. Can I just use the existing horn wires down to the relay and new wires from relay to horn ?

I must have gone invisible.

Sorry OBG. Yep I missed it. I'll do that then much less hassle.

Better to leave original horn push for a basic horn then have a dash horn button (with relay) labelled "Hi Bro" or "I'm peed off" - depending what sort of horn you choose

I've got a klaxon "ooogaa" horn my son has access to at the front for when he sees other campers. Gives them something to do

The nautilus horn has arrived. Does any one have a good suggestion for siting it. GoWesty put it behind a light. I want to keep this a simple as possible is the there an easier place as I want to use as much of the existing wire as possible?

Mines more or less where the old one was.

Does seem the simplest place where did you put the relay? I don't want to to get wet

I've got mine next to the horn, been like that for 8-9 years, never had a problem.

I'm afraid you won't get 8 or 9 years out of that elastic strap - 2 years max.

Hahaha

I do have an alternative, but haven't got round to putting it on yet. I'd be happy and surprised if I got two years out of it.

What does it do?

Just stops (not very well) the spare sliding around too much and the bottle jack bouncing about.

Made a right f-up of fitting it. I was going to put it behind the passenger light but forgot the space was used already. I then decided to drill out the old mount but couldn't get the welded nut off after. I then drilled a hole next to it but because the alarm is mounted by a square bolt access to the back nut is a nightmare and after a few hours of losing skin off my fingers, sockets and nuts and my temper I cable tied the alarm on at a temporary measure. Wiring was a doddle and the horn is perfect an friendly parp with a dab and a real blast held down.

I made an easy job unnecessarily complicated. That bar with hole at each end is prefect. Does it have a name so I can buy one. I thought the alarm had to go higher to escape the water but if your has been working like that for years it must be fine
