It was time to find out how and if the leisure battery was hooked up to anything. They had put a new battery in as promised and a mains charger, but couldn’t see where and what it was wired up to.

So I rolled up my sleeves and got the screw driver out and started unscrewing the shelf, panel and back of the cupboard it had been installed in.

To my delight there was a split charge relay installed as well, so the leisure battery must of been removed by the previous owners before selling it. This is good news so as the leisure battery will now recharge from the alternator when driving and mains hook up when camping – best of both worlds.

The fridge and water pump are wired up to it but nothing else, going to wired up the stereo, interior lights, and a w4 12v plug so we don’t run down the main battery when parked up.
