Leisure Battery 12v Wiring Into Cabin

Post by Mark Elvin » Wed May 21, 2014 9:06 am

Is there a guide or similar as to how people have installed their 12v feed from the leisure battery at all?

I was going to pop a beefy v+ through the bulkhead (possibly from the Smartcom permanent +v out) to a fuse box inside the cabin & then run the wires to the required areas, connecting the AFT light, main existing interior light, additional lights & the 12v outlets to the leisure battery supply, earthing to the chassis.

There's a big rubber grommet on either end of the bulkhead which is ideal for the job.

There are various threads on installing a leisure battery, the charging circuit and hooking up the interior lights/power (fuse 8 I think) and also an inverter. There are at least three easy ways from the engine bay to the cabin - through a big grommet leading to the fuse box by the driver's knee (I cut an additional hole), in the middle of the bay, the clutch blank in automatics (as used by the Willington change circuit) and another large grommet behind the coolant tank on the right. This comes out easily which made it easy to cut a hole in it and push some tubing through.
Hope this helps.
