Astrophotography Trailer

This is the best section of the forum to post this in I think, so hopefully this is correct!

Basically my Dad and I do a fair bit of Astrophotography in Victoria and got sick of sitting out in the cold all night with the mosquitos, so we purchased an old Ambulance body which we're currently converting to an astro trailer!

Pictures attached of the work so far, we now have a chassis on the trailer and a lot more work has been done, I'll grab some photos tomorrow and upload them too.

The trailer has been setup with a desk on either side, on desk will be for laptops etc, the other will be setup with 2 x 22" monitors and a desktop PC for imaging. The plan is to have a wiring loom from the trailer to the pier so it should be very fast to have everything up and running. Red LED lights have been installed inside which power off a deep cycle battery which is solar trickle charged.
