    Hi there,
    I have just joined this site, which looks fantastic
    I have a Mercedes Viano 2004 extra long wheelbase that I intend to convert later on.
    At the moment I would like to add a second battery with an electric hook up point that i could use when I am camping.
    Does anyone have any Recommendations on cost and people that could do it or is it an easy job to DIY
    I live in Ascot ,Berkshire
    Thanks
    Vince

    Hi Vince, I’ve just done the same and bought a LWB Viano (Berkshire too) which I want to convert to a day van with a pop-top bed..

    My plans for a second battery are to get another under-seat battery tray from a Vito/Viano and install that under the driver seat.. Then use a marine/camper split charger.

    I’ve just done the same in my Vito. I just used the space under the drivers seat. Two tie down loops and a tie down strap hold the battery in place. Split charge relay thing was a doddle to wire, just followed the instructions in the packet. Mounted that under the seat too. Then used an anderson socket and plug to take power where ever needed.
