Nice work @Maico looks factory fitted!
I had a similar issue but mine was a missing blanking plug. So I hacked a multi USB plug and fitted in there. You can never have enough power!!

They are handy. But make sure you put an inline fuse as well…

I need to do that to my work bus. Big ol’ car battery sure can charge a phone or two while we work, right?

Yep easy. The power draw is less than the interior light being left on.
I just bought one of these as well to charge my winch battery on my trailer when its parked up. It has 2 USB sockets as well and works well charging a phone even in the low light we have now. Waterproof too.
That’s a nice bit of kit! I don’t think it’d work for my trailer, as that’s a 24v truck battery if I’m not mistaken.

Most 24v systems are 2 x 12v batteries together. Im genuinely not sure what your setup would be though. I’d imagine it’s probably 12v as it would charge off the towing vehicle electrics. I am not totally sure though
Mine does not charge off the bus. Every once in a while I need to hook it up to its own charger. Inefficient but eh, whaddayagonnado

Cant you run a power lead from the 7 pin plug to charge it up. A power lead and an earth and it will charge up when you are driving
Aaaaaand we’re buying a kitchen @ Küchen Fachmart!

I rented a place for my company to base out of. I now have a shared hangar and lot to store tools and materials. It’s a place my guys know and love, for it’s the same placed they used under the old boss. the farmer who rents it out gave us preference. We’re a known quantity 
To celebrate, I pimped out our ride a little with an item we were supposed to get rid of on a trash run:
If anyone has ideas to hook it up to the car’s horn, I’m open to suggestions

Just turn it around and People will get out your way!
Congratulations on the yard mate. That’s a huge step!! I rent a lowly 20ft container and some parking space. I’d kill for a covered hanger!! Well done dude. Having that gives you so much more security and peace of mind for your gear

Oh boy. Guys, I’m back where I belong.
I know I’m not in touch a lot lately but we’ve no internet at home and I only have a limited (very!) dataplan. (heck, we’ll be without kitchen for a month!)
I’m just writing, as I’m ready to go to work, that after a few days of this new job… I belong here.
It’s messed, and tough, and complicated, there’s a lot to unpack.
But boy do I f***** love it…

@Victork2 Thanks man, and everyone- really.
I just hope to deserve all the good stuff and be a constructive part of the works here!
