[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 429104, member: 10304"] The back of the vehicle has a 24v winch plus inside the chests we are running 3 fridges, 2 drawer units and Waeco 40 so we considered it easier to retain than change over to 12v and fit a larger 12v alternator and buy a new winch. The cabin wiring is completely independent from the back so we would have had to either set up a whole new series of feeds to tap into the existing cabin wiring or keep the two systems separate. Also the 24v winch came with the truck when we bought her, she actually had two, but we sold the second one. Things may change in the future, but stuff like the fridges are far more efficient on 24 that 12v, if things do change it'll be easier to fit a 24v alternator and fabricate a new mounting system. Overall the current draw is very low except when we need the rear winch so there is minimal extra load on the motor. [/QUOTE]
