Thanks geoff
I have decided safer option is to fit a relay to disconnect the power supply when mains connected./Will see how it works out.
Thanks again

Re: connecting a LB relay
many thanks
I wonder if you could help re connecting the LB via a mains AC/DC 12v converter when the vehicle is on 240 v power supply
I have set it up so that when connected to a 240 v supply it disconnects the LB so that the 12v supply via the converter does not try to charge the LB.
This is ...

Re: connecting a LB relay
many thanks for the speedy reply.
I still find the wiring diagrams a bit of spagetti nest.
I suppose I need a piggy back fuse or something or may be connect from rear unless it need a seperate fuse?

Re: van electric

Re: van electric
Its a sargent AC 50X which nominally put power to all the accessories.Who ever converted the van uses the units switch to apply 240/12 conveted power to the accessories(When on mains)
This is done by putting the LB in parallel with the converted 12 v. Can't yet find a relay which prevents the ...

Re: van electric
The "zig" unit is a fairly simple Sargent AC 50X which provides switches to the vaious accessories, light,pump,LB state when the LB power is switched through.
It looks as though its wired so that this main switch also put 12v power to the fridge.This is in both the LB circuit and the 240v 12 v ...

Does anyone know how the mains supply and leisure battery are linked, particularly with regard to the fridge unit which is dual voltage.
If the engine is stopped is it normal to switch to the leisure battery and if so how is this done.
Does the mains isolator need to be in the on position(although ...

Re: a shorter bed
Thanks for those two comments and particularly the last one.
I have solved it in a slightly complicated way. I wanted the rake of the seat back to stay the same so cut a section from this back portion 5 inches long and inserted an sliding inner tube.This was held at the correct length by two pins ...

a shorter bed
Having only tested the bed for a short weekend (side conversion) We found that there was little space when onfolded between bed and front seats.
Because we have a fridge in the front section of the side conversion its not possible to open it without putting the bed away.
