    Hi All,

    Just these posts and there are two things:

    If the voltage sensitive relay has no instructions, contact the manufacturer as if you get the system wired the wrong way round, you could end up emptying your leisure battery into you main battery or it not working at all. They will be able to help in no time and accurately.

    The other point is on the invertor, you can easily electrocute yourself when you are playing with 230VAC and it is deadly. Ensure you fuse the 12v to the invertor and Residual current device (RCD) protect the output of the invertor (ensure you check your earthing system too). Don’t forget that an RCD is there to save your life, I always choose quality products in this type of situation.

    You definitely need some
    You definitely need some instructions for the relay, to make sure you wire it properly.

    Common negative is the negative of the starter battery, and also the negative of the leisure battery, as they should constantly be connected together. Also, the chassis of the van (and technically anything metal and structural) should also be common negative.
