Did you put led rope lights under your rtt?

 

[champi]

On the roof rack, under the rtt yes.

Appears the ac delco springs lift about as high as my h2's did

Maybe 1.5"
But the driving feeling is better and the height with or without the rtt is the same.

Hadnt seen an rtt on a Sub. Looks roomier.
Have you picked the spot for the vlair440?
Aux battery is easy.

I still hesitate between there, or in the rear drawers. The 2 are close to my 12v. So I'm thinking about that.
The RTT is a large, so the matress have +- 62'' width

sorry, meant adding an aux battery is easy. But yet that would be a good spot for air. I'm considering deleting the rear subwoofer and putting the pump in its place, under the 'breadbox'. Between the speaker grill and pull out tray covering the jack it could breath well enough. And/but my drawer / platform blocks that area. I might actualyl just cut the bottom out of the breadbox and just reach in to operate the pump. But I've got a lot of power arrangements in that corner, would be easy to add remote controls and am considering hard-plumbing air lines to both bumpers anyway.
I already have a small portable air compressor I use for trade work, brad nailing etc, been eyeballing it, considering sacrificing it. Has a sausage tank about 15"Lx6"dia that would fit underneath somewhere and the compressor head could go in the cargo sidewall. And use some large-bore metal brakeline to plumb everything. Air line couplings only have a 1/4" ID anyway,

In my suburban the subwoofer is under the central console.
I don't know if the rear left compartment is empty ? If yes...I can install the inverter or the air compressor here.
Sorry my english is not very good, so sometime I don't undertand the good things hehe

 

[rayra]

Yes, in the back left corner there's a large odd-shaped empty space behind the plastic body panel. The fuel filler takes up some of it. It's in this area

 

[champi]

So this is the beginning of my rear system for the food and recovery things.

The only thing under my left rear body panel was a bracket for holding the jack, lug wrench and chock blocks (which I thought was a thoughtful thing to include.) I know this because I had to pull that panel off twice, the first time to install the 12v power outlet and the second time when the power outlet came off the ground after some bouncy road travel and I had to re-attach it. There's LOTS of space under there.
