        The standard unit is only 35 amps and struggles to run any aftermarket electronics. I upgraded to a diesel 55 amp unit ages ago but with four spotlights on and the stereo the poor thing only charged at 12.9V which is not enough. Now that i'm going to rally it the spot lights will be bigger and the terra trip and intercom will suck additional power so better to be safer than sorry i think

          I know thats what there website states but i took the time to email them and told them of the lack of parts supply and they said they could post international for me as long as i filled out the correct mailing address in the comments box. they then just added the shipping charge on after and in no time they were here. very fast and good service. I'll use them again for sure
