Went camping this past weekend. There was a bad storm suppose to hit late Saturday night /early Sunday morning so I packed away Libby's Awning to keep it dry. I decided to just leave the lights up so we had some ambience at the camp site. I LOVE these 12v led Christmas lights.

So after spending the weekend camping and spending all of Friday inside the van cuz of the rain I'm gonna go ahead and order a Bus Depot Ezy Awning Plus. This will make things much nicer if I get stuck in the rain again... Or even provide some shade in bright sunny days. Not bad for $150. I wanted a Fiamma but at $800 and having to drill mount holes in the van itself that's kinda a turn off for me.

Came home from a weekend of camping in Libby to find my next weekend's project sitting at my doorstep. 5 Blue Sea 12v sockets, 10 rocker switches and 2 Forstner drill bits. Now I just need to take a few measurements and figure out how many LED strips I'll need in order to light the interior exactly how I want. The rocker switches are for the LED lighting strips I plan to install.

So I learned a lesson.. Be sure to turn the water on and let the hose flush out any unwanted critters before hooking up my quick disconnect in order to fill my Vanagon water tank... Looks like the lizard had a very surprising ride. Damn. Yuk.

Drove Libby to work today for the first time... Since I knew the parking lot would be empty it was a good day to test if Libby actually fit without hitting anything. She's got taller tires, 1.5" lift, sky light and aluminum solar panel mounting brackets mounted on the top. She cleared the lower cross beams and the clips hit the garage signs hanging but all in all its good. Hehe.

Went in to buy a replacement 8" sub and got talked into adding a 10" instead. Ha. Now Libby will have a 10 incher all up inside her. Wait. Wut?

So I went to Car Toys to get a new head unit installed.. One that actually had an auxiliary input. Anyways, got home and was looking at the USB and AUX cables in the glove box and I noticed a glowing red light. Took the glove box out and found a 2 channel MTX Audio amp bridged for mono for the sub that once resided under the bench seat. I figured since the sub was gone when I bought the van in July that any amp would have been gone too. Not the case. Now I'll be making another trip to Car Toys to get a sub.. Haha. Might as well right!? So funny I've had the van for 5 months and I just now found the hidden amp! Lol

Hooked up my headlights switch to the audible door open buzzer under the dash. If I leave my lights on now there's an audible alarm, before there was nothing! Now I won't accidentally leave my lights on again. Best $7 wire kit EvAR! Got it from @gowestycampers at gowesty.com
