A good spot for a rear power outlet

This is where I installed one of my rear power outlets, above the inverter socket. I am a big fan of these Clipsal low voltage plugs and sockets.

I have been using those plugs since forever four in the Prado and another in the CT! Excellent plugs.

Conservation and Land Management (CALM, the precursor to DFES) used those for the 12v portable spots on their fire trucks when I worked there over 20 years ago. They had been using them for many years before that.

I have been using them for radio transceivers since they were full of valves and consumed a considerable amount of current.

They were quite cheap and readily available. This century I have been using 30 a and 45 amp Anderson connectors instead. They are smaller, about a third the price and so far the spring contacts in the socket haven't gone soft.

The other problem is that the convention in Victoria was to have the top of the T as negative and th in NSW the convention was to have it as positive.
