How long is a piece of string? Do you want a powerful one or a trickle charger?
I have a small one from Lidl (they crop up fairly regularly) which is very good, but only charges up to 3.4 amps. This has always kept my battery fully charged, but you'd need something more powerful if you ran a 12V coolbox off the battery.

Thanks both. What I require is a 240v mains charger fitted in the van and just wondered what choices there are.

These are good, they shut down when the batterys full, so they can be left-on all the time. Will cope with the coolbox scenario.

Not cheap, as francophile1947 has said, a £4 Lidle one will do the job of charging, depends on how much load your putting on the battery.
