My Chevrolet Express van Class B- camper
I have been camping in my 1990 Chevrolet Silverado Blazer 2-door for the last 20 years. When I removed the back seat there was just enough room for a 3/4 sized (Hollywood, as some people called them)...

Today is Saturday, so it is time to work on the camper van again. This time I added a battery monitor gauge. It is capable of monitoring the charge of two batteries, so I connected it's "Battery 1" leads to my main van starting battery and its "Battery 2" leads to my auxiliary camper van battery. It tells me the percentage charge of each battery at all times.
This 2001 Chevrolet Express van did not have a tachometer, so I installed the aftermarket one I removed from my old 1990 Blazer before I sold it. A fairly easy home mechanic install on my 2001 because it still has only one coil and I didn't have to connect to the ECM.
Today's last modification was to add rubber labels to my under hood wiring modifications, so as "Old Timer's disease" sets in, I will remember what wires are connected to what. I rewired my power windows through the fusebox connection with a wire directly connected to the battery (fused properly of course) so that I could open my windows with the ignition on or off. Then I used the ignition fused power window connection to control the relay to my auxiliary battery and aftermarket accessories.
Now back to the internet to search for new ideas from others!
