I've got one of these, works fine for me. http://www.tayna.co.uk/ELECSOL-100-Carb ... P5579.html
If you have the usual camping things transfered from the starter battery. Electric window blinds, radio,etc you have to make sure that nothing is draining the leisure battery (usual culprit is the radio but can be directly connected fridges) when your bongo is parked up unused as this problem can drain any battery.
Some people install a switch, being non technical I have a battery isolator fitted to my leisure battery which does the same job.http://www.redlinemaxed.co.uk/richbrook ... -128-p.asp You may find them cheaper on ebay.
