And hence my point - I have no idea how many other laws I've broken in the last week since I just don't know very many of them. And then you have the problem that up and down the country right now, are thousands of vans with engines running and no butt on the drivers seat because the driver is makin...

The Highway Code wouldn't include things like this, it's only a brief guide to the basics of driving requirements. You would need to study the Road Traffic Acts to get all the info.

I have a really nice 12v to 12v charger made by erm... Sterling Power Products. It's a BB121250. You wire it up like a split charge relay - but this is much better - it monitors the main battery and watches for the alternator to start charging it - waits 5 minutes (ish) then starts to charge the aux...
