Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

Yes I have dual 100ah batteries and the electronics box holds the mppt solar controller, mains battery charger and switches / fuses.
2 x flexible 60w solar panels can be mounted when the tent is packed and whilst driving.
All that feeds the LED lights, tent electrics and the high capacity water pump.
My fridge is in the Defender and can be run off the aux battery there or connected to the trailer batteries if needed.
It's taken a bit of trial and error to get it how I wanted it but happy with it now.

The trailer is ex military British Army designed specifically to be pulled by a Land Rover.
All I have done is raised the height slightly and added a custom rack to take the Hannibal roof tent.
Internally I have added a water tank pump and electrics for led lights, sockets and a battery compartment for 2 x 100ah batteries. I also added mains and solar hook up.
Then had the trailer repeated to bonatti grey to match the tomb raider defender.
It has taken a while and a bit if trial and error but I'm happy with it hence we are now in Turkey in the first week of our 12 month trip from Cyprus, North Cyprus, Turkey, Europe, Scandinavia, UK and then maybe on to Africa.
Pictures are from Cappadocia, Goreme in Turkey.
