Pimping a Battery Box

I wanted a battery box I could put in the back of the 4x4 and recharge from the vehicle as I drive. I already have the vehicle wired to a 50 Amp Anderson plug at the towbar to charge batteries in the caravan so that part was easy. Then I decided I would also want to run some LED lights and a few other bits and bobs, plus, if needed, run a small inverter.

So here it is:
1. A heavy outlet that will connect to the inverter plus to the vehicle for charging. Then a fused cigarette lighter outlet and 4 individually fused 30 Amp Anderson plug outlets to run other stuff - and an on/off switch to isolate those 4 if wanted.

Here's some photos. It was not difficult and wasted a wet weekend.

Problem is, it's still raining, so what's next?
