    i already have the cool
    i already have the cool box,it’s a Campingaz 12v Electric Cool Box – Powerbox 36L Classic,i think this is the same model,i was just going by the picture online.
    I was a bit worried about the battery not being vented but i asked a friend about his pro conversion and he said his isn’t vented which didn’t sound right to me. I think when i’m sure where everything will go then i will keep the leisure battery in a secure box under the bed,that way i can put a vent to the side of the van.
    What size leisure battery would you recommend ?
    I remember seeing a battery box with terminals fitted to the lid along with the cigarette lighter plug,it seemed a very safe way to me,however i cant seem to trace it now,though on reflection while typing i could probably rig it up with the system i was thinking of using and save money !

    Vixen i think it’s best to ask questions no matter how daft if it makes things safe,i will try to ask all the daft questions so you can save your dignity ! I also find that being a girl makes it ok as we are not expected to know about such things. I haven’t told anyone on here that i used to off road 4×4’s so i’m a bit used to fixing things and playing about with engines etc but for some reason working on my transit scares me !

    another ramble
    electrics …..a quick,easy,safe way needed.
    I was thinking buy leisure battery,charge it at home,can then be used to run cool box,any idea how long the battery would last for ?
    If i then buy tent hook up with 4 plugs i can charge the leisure battery,mobile phone,camera,run laptop ? But it means the cable would feed through a very slightly open window,will sites let you do that ? I’ve never used hook up before.
    I’m thinking of keeping the leisure battery behind the driver seat,is this ok ?
    I’ve seen a cigarette lighter plug with crocodile clips on so that would be easy to connect to the battery the problem being the cable isn’t long enough so an extension with the plugs on would be needed,is it safe to use the two together?
    Is it safe to charge the leisure battery while the cool box is running off it?
    Am i making things complicated for myself!
    Sorry if i have asked some daft questions, i just don’t want to take chances.

    I will post links of the items i am thinking of using in case i have explained it all badly ! Well i was going to post links but it wont let me,says something about spam detected but im a vegetarian !
    thank you for listening !
