The Expedition HQ package<\/a> replaces the 13 pin Euro plug with a 7\/12 pin flat pin plug and 2 Anderson plugs (one for the caravan\/trailer and one for the solar blanket). This is what the rear now looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The XHQ package is not spliced into the INEOS electrics, but uses its own control box, shown here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fuse labelled Anderson, bottom centre, is for the two Anderson plugs for the fridge running off the AUX battery (see more below). The small circuit breaker top right (just below the AUX Battery<\/strong> label) is for the REDARC TowPro and the large 50 amp circuit breaker, to the left, is for the XHQ Control Unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The REDARC TowPro head unit is up under the dash near the steering wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a 5 seater Grenadier the XHQ Control Unit fits next to the CTEK 120S. The CTEK 250SE then fits on top of the XHQ Control Unit. There is not enough vertical room in the 2 seater for the CTEK 250SE to be mounted on top, so an alternate place was found, near the aux battery. The metal lid in the 2 seater leaves less room above the XHQ Control Box for the CTEK 25OSE than the seats in the 5 seater model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Doc’s 2 seater the CTEK 250SE was mounted on a Black Sheep charger bracket he already had (the two solar Anderson plugs are attached the CTEK 250SE’s solar inputs. (The solar input LED is not on as no solar panel was attached when the photo was taken):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Anderson plugs were installed into the side of the battery box and into the area near the jack. Here is the passenger side of the battery box, just below the lid hinge:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Anderson plug near the jack will have this plugged into it, which will be mounted next to the drawers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
