Thanks both. I'll definitely look into an LVD. Before I get a new voltage regulator for my alternator though, can you confirm that measuring the voltage across the main battery terminals is the correct way to measure the output of the alternator? I can't see another way to do it, but it seems like t...

Thanks again. I've installed everything this afternoon, and it seems to work. I've gone with 30A cabling and 25A fuses for now. So as you say, the fuses are protecting the cabling, and I'll watch out for blown fuses. There's a 25A fuse between the battery and the smart relay input, a 25A fuse betwee...

Thanks - that's a useful diagram. OK, so in the "on-site" position there's no problem with the smart relay turning on. What about in the "touring" position? In the event that I use the "touring" position in an emergency, and forget to switch back to "on-site" ...

Ah yes, that makes sense. I've just been reading through the Wiki, and I've seen your piece on the intelligent relay. Since I need to do the wiring for both the fridge and the leisure battery, one of these Smartcom relays seems like the best bet. One question though - if I'm "on-site" and ...

Thanks folks My fridge is a three way (Electrolux RM122), but in the few days I had the van before we took it away for a holiday I removed the gas connection since the fixed copper pipe was very dented and corroded. It may well have been sound, but I had no means to test it and no time to replace it...

Oops - my mistake. It looks like the wire from terminal 2 to the vehicle battery +ve terminal has been disconnected. I assume that the only route from the alternator to the auxiliary battery is via the vehicle battery, and since that route is currently broken then there's no way for my auxiliary bat...

Hi folks New member here. I've owned my 1982 T25 Viking conversion for about three weeks now, and have been camping in it for the last two of those weeks. I've got various things to ask the forum, and I'm going to start with a question about the factory-fitted ZIG CF8 unit. Having camped for just a ...
