Hi Ricky
What sort of fridge
Hi Ricky

What sort of fridge do you have? Is it a gas fridge or an electric only fridge?
Do you have a split-charge relay to charge the leisure battery when the engine is running?
How much room do you have for the leisure battery, quite a bit?

fridge
Hi Darren,

I managed to change password.
The fridge is both gas & electric I think, it is Electrolux RM212,F, as for the battery, I have plenty space in one of the boxes under the seat, there are 2 wires in the box that come through the side beside the fridge meaning I would have to remove the fridge to trace them then they may go through the plywood and disappear again, the wires look a little thin to run off a battery but I don’t know what they should look like, there is also a ZIG CF8 unit fitted, it works but must be off the engine battery, again I don’t know how they get their energy.

A 3-way fridge is
Hi Ricky

A 3-way fridge is designed to run off the battery only when necessary, such as when on a ferry. It will probably only last a few hours before flattening the battery.
Your other items will not use a lot of power. I would opt for a single 110ah battery.
The following website is recommended, and I have linked to their cheapest 100ah battery, which will be fine.
