Hi all, I know that's probably sounding dumb, but I've been away from the trade for an age, so forgive me. Im looking for an alarm that will sound when the battery voltage reaches a preset voltage. If anyone has any clue, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Does anyone leave their gas on when travelling? I have a 3-way fridge that I can set to automatic selector. Takes 240V, then 12V from vehicle, then gas.

When I purchased my DMax I thought I could get away with the rubber squares you join together for the tray but it is not working as I intended, my work gear still slides about which means on my trip everything will slide about.
