Battery Terminal Isolator

Cabin Lamp LED 3020 SMD


Sometime we would camp out in the night and used the vehicle cabin lamp. After sometime the lamp gets very warm creating the air flow in the cabin warm too. I decided to change it to LED and found this model selling reasonably priced, less than USD10. Made purchase for two pieces, one for the cabin and another for the rear door lamp.

This is a 3020 SMD 18 LED 12V type. Rating at 1.14watts, 0.08Amp producing around 525 Lumens. The size of the LED is 20x45mm and it comes with various connectors to suit your needs. The spring type connector able to fit between 31mm to 38mm.

Installation is rather simple, remove the old bulb and use the correct conectors to fit. The LED backing has a 3M double sided tape, simply stick it to the lamp housing and it is done. The result, it was brighter than before and less warmer.

Last installed was in Dec 2010, so far it has not failed. Below this Post there are different types of LEDs

Safety Warning Add-On

I was in Dubai for 2 months and noticed every heavy or cargo vehicles had these safety reflective stickers on the rear. Thought was a cool idea and brought some back to install on our Campervan. Also found an interesting lamp that makes beep sounds when the vehicle is backing up. This will alert anyone who is at the rear of the vehicle.  

Back-Up Alert
Back-Up Alert for vehicle that does not have any back up audio warning, this will be a nice to add-on. Comes with Bright Halogen bulb and a warning audio of 87dB

Cigarette Charger Battery Volt Meter With Temp and Time


Bought this gadget when I was in Singapore and decided to install in our campervan.  You are able to check both the temperature inside and outside the vehicle and it comes with a volt meter reading that gives out an alarm when the battery is low. 

Joeypa Battery Isolator Combo


Found this battery isolator from the local internet. My plan is to hook up the old battery that I recently replaced and use it for BOV camping. I found this piece of hardware rather interesting is that you can hook up to Solar panel if you have one. Also you are able to use it with multiply batteries. 

Wind Deflector


The last typhoon had ripped off my front left passenger side wind deflector. Sometime back I had accidentally broke it into 2 pieces and had use a duct tape to hold in place. The current wind deflector was by EGR but I could not find any replacement from the internet. I ended up placing a local order for a brand new set.
