KISS
Hello again

Keep It Stupidly Simple or KISS = the less complicated you make it, the less chance of it going wrong.

I didn’t mean in my earlier post that I was claiming my way was the only way to do it – absolutely not – just that I have found it the most effective and reliable system possible in my experience of converting and using many different vans.

“Different stokes for different folks” and “horses for courses” – as I live in my van full-time for much of the year and in the wildest places, I want something that’s rugged and as close to 100% reliable as will ever be possible in this life. A ‘big chunky switch’ won’t freeze in sub-zero temperatures or melt in a desert. I doubt I’d be as concerned if I was just visiting a campsite somewhere for a week.

Enjoy your camping..!

Hi mate

Yes, I’ve done this on all the campers I’ve converted for years and it’s the only way to guarantee you will start in the morning… All those ‘charge relays’ they sell on ebog are hilarious, as they lack the ability to switch enough amps and simply burn out..!

I usually just use one simple battery isolation switch to cut off the leisure battery positive feed, as these switches come cheap (the ones with a removable key). I have used a marine double battery rotary switch to handle the batteries in the past too – they’re a bit more expensive and complicated to wire, but look really cool..!

Also, presuming you use wire of the correct thickness, you can use the leisure battery to start up if the starter battery fails. This happened to me on a lonely Spanish mountain just a few months ago – the starter battery had just got too old and died.

Take care
