Just an fyi about the fire extiguisher, Might want to look into a halon or co2 extinguisher instead of dry chem, dry chem is very corrosive and expensive to clean up because its hazmat, even if your vehicle doesn't burn to the ground, its totaled in the insurance companies eyes. Halon is similar to co2 but doesn't displace oxygen like co2 so you don't go night night if it happens to rupture in your vehicle. They are less effective on class A fires(stuff that leaves an ash) but will work.

JF, can you post up some details/link regarding the LED awning light? Does it roll up with the awning or separately?

Thanks in advance!

from what i saw john its mounted on the inside of the aluminum part thats mounted to the roof rack, in the area where the 2 horizontal poles get stored. i think its a standard option on the ironman awnings but could easily be added to the arb if you could find an led strip that has double sided tape on the back and a cig lighter adapter.
