    Hi, I know you don’t want to
    Hi, I know you don’t want to “drill holes” in the van but I had the same feeling before I started. Once i’d cut the roof out for the vent, the old jig saw was cutting away for side vents and the hook up. Believe me,it’s not as bad as it seems, buy a flush box to go in the side of the van mark out the size, drill the 1st guide hole and about 30 secs later….job done. Mastic the rim of the box and in it goes. Looks neat and professional. wire it up to a “garage distribution unit” and then off to your sockets and lights.HOWEVER….Totally ignore this if your adament! LOL!.

    Thanks for the replies Darren
    Thanks for the replies Darren and MG.

    Darren – thanks for the link. That certainly looks like the cheap and easy way to proceed. Regarding the battery charger, this is the one I am currently using – http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7402168.htm – do you think it will be alright to recharge my Leisure Battery?

    I would prefer not to buy another (CTEK) one if I don’t have to.

    Thanks for the advice

    Hi Ian
    That one will be fine,

    Hi Ian

    That one will be fine, but make sure you use it on the trickle setting. That will be kinder to the leisure battery.
