This looks like a great option, given the amount we invest in these rigs and their contents. I’m very interested.

What do you know about specific compatibility with GPFactor molle panels?

Also curious about the obvious questions of pricing and availability… I would opt to mount the lock motor/manual controls to the molle panel.

Appreciate all the innovation you are bringing to this space!

Thanks! Glad you like it. I have them listed on the website now with the option of raw stainless or black powder coating. You can choose the kit that does not include the control box mounting plate. For the GPFactor panels, it depends on which ones you have. I tried to design the lock inclosure to minimize any trimming needed. It may also be possible to mount the lock on top of the panel, I have not tested it with the panels, so I am not completely sure. I know some of their panels have metal in that are and some don't.

I have several available now and ready to ship. Pricing is listed on the website. As you mentioned, given the amount we are spending on these campers it is nice to have an option to help secure it better. The full setup is a bit expensive but also expensive to pull together all of the components/lock, etc. Let me know if you have any other questions!

I finally received my ACC. I have been working feverishly to get it ready for mancation. I have use some 813 fab molle panels to install the manager30 redarc redvision system. Everything else has been pretty much hand built with aluminum extrusion and 12 baltic burch plywood. It is not complete, but it will work for the 10 day event.

I would love to see more photos of the inside. I just got the RedVision system this week and thought about mounting it to the panels as well. I want to see more photos of the boxes you have strapped down also! Nice work.

The boxes are the rigid storage boxes from home depot. The thin box on the bottom on each side was $29. One holds my off road jack and extenstions while the other holds all my recovery strap, tree strap, soft shackles(2x), snatch block, and gloves. The larger boxes were $39. One holds all my kitchen gear and the other all my camp gear. The boxes are held in place by 2 straps each to a 12" airplane L track tie down bar. I also used toyota t nuts in the factory mopar trail rails with 3/8" bolts.

Great setup! Thanks. The photos of the Redarc system are helpful. I am going to try and completely rewire everything before Overland East next month. I also got the 2000w inverter so I have to find a spot for it also. I think I have a plan

There is enough room to mount the 2000w inverter on the center panel. I do not have the funds for it yet. The third panel is for a water heater...

how hard would you rate the install. I’ll have this installed by my installer when taking deliveries but I’m pretty handy. Wondering if I could save some bucks doing this or if it is otherwise extremely time consuming.

meant to quote @Donnie2153 originally but I’d take any input at this point

I haven't done the Redarc system yet but I did all of the electrical that I have now. It isn't bad if you are handy. My current system is setup with an Auxbeam control box. I think it will be even easier with the Redarc system. These are the Alu-Cab wiring diagrams I located when wiring everything.
