Presenting the
Electric Bill Mobile Van Computer
Thanks to my friends at:
Warren River Boatworks and Hinckley Yacht Services
for their support with this project.
Couldn't have done it without you guys.

Starting with 3/4" King Starboard Marine Polymer and four 1" diameter stanchions at Warren River Boatworks. |

The computer nestled between the van's front seats. |

View from the driver's seat. |

Another shot from the driver's side. That's the HP D2430 color printer on top. |

|
Monitor in the down position. The monitor mount is attached to a traveler car and "T" track. |
|
The Matix MB2000 monitor mount. The "T" track receives additional support from the white 1/2" starboard which is riding in the ashtray rails. |

|
The battery box for the Optima AGM battery located behind the computer. The 700w West Marine Inverter is bolted to the box. |
|
The Inverter battery is connected to the van's starting battery through a 30A Bosch relay located on the center dashboard column. The relay is powered by the ignition circuit so that the batteries are only paralleled when the ignition is on. |
