Interior electrics

Post by gdaddy1980 »

Hi people, just about to start with some interior work, and was wondering what the most simplest way of getting interior lights rigged up and maybe a socket running off a leisure battery with a split charger, and maybe get the radio rigged up to same or another battery feed.cheers

Probably best to put in a small fusebox for the leisure battery first, that way you can run anything you want to run via that and route accordingly. Earth is the same for both batteries ofcourse - ie chassis.

Thanks for that, I take it also that most 12v lighting and accessories come in plug and play style...? Would an inverter be able to fit into this also??

I wouldn't run the inverter off a small fusebox - better to take that direct to battery (inverter usually has its own fuse) and/or use thick cables throughout.
