What did you do with your Grenadier today?

Had I known, I would have - or maybe I did - what booth?

Siyeh Overland... we were near-ish the track, right between Overwatch x Rescue and Lensun Solar

Damn, I know I waked right past because I remember Lensun. I was on a mission though, looking for an off-road trailer. Ended up putting a deposit down on a Lifestyle Campers Fusionn. Now I'm headed down the rabbit hole reading on how to wire a DC to DC connection for the trailer.

I'm not aware what the community support is like for Lifestyle campers in the USA but this Australian FB group is good. 8000 members and 10 years old.
I have a Lifestyle Breakaway Ultra which is a grandparent of the Fusionn.

Thanks for the heads up. Most of what I find on FB has been from Australia. I haven't found much in the US yet.

It is fairly straight forward.

I run a 50 amp Anderson circuit (fused at 40 amps) direct from the aux battery to the rear of the car. The van plugs into the grey Anderson plug (Red is for external solar blanket into the car). Power from the IG to the van and all the DC to DC smarts are in the van. Just make sure the cable is thick enough for the lenght of the cable run.

My Vista RV Crossover has a 30 amp REDARC Project Manager 30 (which can handle DC, AC and solar input). I did not run an ignition source with the Anderson circuit, as the REDARC picks that up from the trailer electrics (which are different in AU). The REDARC Project Manager 30 is connected to a REDARC Prime TVMS and Rogue TVMS.

Your Fusionn has a similar setup using a Victron 30 amp DC to DC. Just plug the van in (after checking the van's DC power circuit uses a 50 amp Anderson plug - they do in AU).

There are wiring kits for this, for example (I installed one onto my nephew's Nissan Patrol).

Fitted my Grenadier Works goodies - fresh from the USA, that turned up at lunchtime. Took all of 10 minutes, most of that finding the right tools.

Described to me as "a gamechanger". The big handle works really well.

The reversing light shrouds were already an essential, so far as I am concerned.

The interior light shades were novel to me - again, a fix I did not know I needed.
Lets see how long it takes my wife to notice!

Painted the lettering on the transfer case knob. IMHO looks better than the unpainted version which looks somewhat unfinished. I think that's a wrap on this section of the interior!

looks great, what paint did you use and was it easy?

Got the transfer case knob from Grenadier USA - they still have some in stock.

I used a white touch-up paint - (dries quick) and I used an acrylic paint thinner to clean off the excess/over paint. I purchased a set of really really fine paint brushes (artist type brushes) and using a magnifying glass I painted within the entirety of the letters/lines. Then I used a Q-tip dipped in the paint thinner to wipe off the excess. It took some time to figure out how to effectively wipe off the over-paint while not rubbing out the paint within the letters/lines but after some trial and error I figured out an approach that worked well for me. There was a you-tube video that provided an overview of doing it but honestly its trial and error to get the right approach.

Looks great. Looks good with the new shifter. Subtle upgrades….
