Leisure Battery

Post by **chorner** » 12 Nov 2008, 22:09

I have quite an original multivan but do not want to spoil the exterior with an electric hook up outlet. However i do want a leisure battery locating under the rock and roll for lighting. I believe it is a simple task but i do not have the time to do it myself. Does anyone have a recommendation for a garage in the yorkshire area who has carried out these works and what sort of price would i be looking at?
Thanks

you could always put the hook up socket on the numberplate flap.....

not at all difficult! if you get the leisure battery i'll give you a hand to fit it, not to far from you see, Harogate!

You can put the battery under the front seat in the battery box (either side, or both, on a TD).

Hi there

I have an 89 t25 with the battery under the drivers seat.
I wanted to put a leisure batt under passngr seat but the space under the passngr seems smaller has anybody come across this before ?
is there something underneath ?

thanks any help appreciated

No it's the same size.

maximum height of the leisure is 180mm
check out the wiki on leisure batteries.

A UK code 096 will snugly fit the space.
it's not a "leisure" but will more than suffice for short camping trips

and welcome mackz to the forum

Thanks for all the posts.
Very informative.
I really like the idea of using the hook up under/behind the number plate and the small leisure battery under the seat. Is there a photo out there of the hook up location so i can see how its been done.
This site is great.

look here https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.p ... plate+flap

this was on my old camper, which i did about 10 years ago, by far the best place for it, as it is alway dry and warm, so no damp connections.

perfect, going to get it done this way.

Hook up can be done cheaply and without spoiling the exterior or cutting holes.

O'learys sell the hook up plug which is screwed under the van. A short piece of flex and a RCD double socket from B&Q for about £25 is all you need.
