CAMO is correct, my bad!
His encouragement is a little surprising, must be profit in it for him

Mulit-tasking at the moment. Got you guys on the computer and the queen going on the tele. As soon as they slam the lid... I have to get to work.

You would be supersized how LITTLE profit there is. Tax, parts, labor, supply chain, headache pills, etc.

Buying a HumV is easier to slip pass the BOSS. Wining for more money to fix the busted damn thing.... is the hard part. I have heard grown men crying when placing orders... LOL

Thinking of setting up a 1-800 call CAMO line. Operators standing by... Have your credit card ready.

I note your on here all the time. Is moderator a paid position? How do you get anything done LOL

There playing my song .... Marching right out to the shop now, CAMO

Can someone explain and/or show me pictures of the best way to run 12V accessories? I see a lot of videos on YouTube where people use 24/12V step down converters, but it looks like they run them directly off the battery and then into a fuse block. I want to have all my 12V accessories switched with the ignition so that I don't accidentally leave accessories on that run down the battery. Is there a way to do this? I saw one video that used a continuous duty 24V solenoid that was activated by the ignition. Seems like a decent way to go, but there were also comments from other users that said it was way more complicated than it needed to be. Is there a simpler way?

That is the way I do it.

Simplest method if using a 24-12 step down converter is the Orion 70 amp by Victron. It has a built in relay that just requires a 24V signal to turn it on and off.
The fan circuit is an easy to access circuit for switched power on a 3 speed truck, and a 4 speed can use that or the input signal wire to the 12V relay behind the battery box to power the relay.
