Instead of the awning out the back, can you turn your tent around so it opens towards the rear?

Can I ask why you have the awning on the drivers side? Personally I put mine on the passengers so I don't have to walk around the open rear door whilst I'm camped but thought you must have a reason to do differently?2010 NT GLS DiD Auto Silver | TJM T13 Bullbar | Lightforce LED 180 Spotlights | Runva 11XP | Dual Batteries | TJM snorkel | Bushskinz & TJM bash plates | Custom alloy roof rack | Sunseeker II Awning | MDC RTT | EGR Block | Bilstein/Lovells | Dick Cepek Fun Country tyres | Wet seat seatcovers | Uniden UH7760NB | Parrot Asteroid Smart | Morel, Soundstream and Kicker Audio | MM Cargo Barrier | Storage Drawer | Onboard water system |

Small update to make, had my CTEK D250S (DC-DC charger) moved this week. It was originally mounted underneath the starter battery in the engine bay (which is in the aux tray spot). I had mixed feelings about this initially but figured it'd be alright.
Next day I was flipping through the manual and noticed it was IP65 (splashproof but can't be submerged) and would wind the charge back at 50 deg. So I rang around a few places to get a few different opinions (describing that I do big river crossings, it's a turbo diesel etc etc) and was advised to not put it in the engine bay at all, definitely not where it is now as it would be possibly submerged and there would not be adequate ventilation to keep it cool.
Rang the installer, they were very good about it and booked me in to move it wherever I wanted. We looked at it for a bit with a display unit seeing where we could squeeze it. Basically nothing suitable for what I wanted in the engine bay and I had a few suggestions for possible spots inside.
Bit limited with where you can put it inside the car, it's ENORMOUS! No joy in the passenger footwell behind the glovebox. Best options are either next to the steering column drivers side or in behind the radio.
Ended up putting it in behind the radio. Very pleased with it back there. Suprisingly easy to access and can see all the lights and everything just by pulling off one panel. The installers did a great job (doesn't rattle or foul anything) and they did it all for no charge (woo!) even after I insisted I pay them some money as they changed to a bigger cable to allow for the extra distance etc.

Good location for the CTEK. I've got one of those in mine. It's mounted in the engine bay and it's not a good place for it. It's fine when I'm not towing but it gets too hot in the engine bay when I'm towing and it stops working so the aux doesn't get any charge.2005 NP Platinum 3.2 DID Auto, Lovells HD springs, Bilstein shocks, Firestone Airbags, ARB bar, Warn XD 9000 winch, IPF 900 Xtreme Sport lights, Bushskinz intercooler & sump guards, Outback Accessories rock sliders, GME 3200 UHF, CTEK Dc to Dc Dual Battery system, 265/75/16 General Grabber AT2 tyres, Torque Converter lock-up kit, Safari snorkel, Taipan high performance exhaust, LRA 66lt long range fuel tank.

Yeah I'm glad I got it moved. Very pleased with where it is now. Do you run the extra little relay in yours to compensate for the voltage cutout? They told me I shouldn't need it but I'm not convinced. Book says it cuts out at 12.5V and I think the alt charge goes down to 12.2. Waiting to get a good dual bat monitor before I go out and fit the relay up though.MY14 NW GLX-R 3.2L Auto Build Thread
