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.

Energy Bull as Mike says....or the Platinum 110Ah ...fits a Willinton tray no problem and the terminals are well clear of the inner wing panel. I got a Platinum this year 4 days no leccy at the Bash fridge on all the time, lights,charging & TV use too..
As for others....can't comment ... as always... yer pays yer money
