Leisure battery

Hi, We have recently bought a Bongo with leisure battery installed, but the only thing this powers is the internal lights.
Can anyone kindly advise what else they run from their leisure batteries. I would ideally like to power the blinds, lights, rear 12v socket
and possibly the fridge from time to time when camping without a hook up. Thanks in advance. Any recommendations for auto electricians in
the Devizes / Wiltshire area would also be appreciated. :)

The 3 fuses / circuits at right end of top row in fuse panel by drivers right knee feed what you want. Fuses explained in this link

Many LB split charge kits include fused wiring for changing up to 4 circuits. If yours does not then you would need to add this. Not so familiar with wiring in fridges. You do need a compressor type fridge to avoid flattening the battery in no time at all. Compressor fridges are still a significant drain but I think people can get by for a weekend. Longer with solar panels.
