I had a very similar one on my last van without any problems, I did have to adjust it a bit so it came on and off at the right time but that was simple enough is a good price too with all the wire and free postage!!

Bit under specified if you are doing a lot of camping/using large leisure battery. Better rated kit is http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/INTELLIGENT-Volta ... 414cca2bd0
people find that they blow fuses/have overheating problems with these especially if the leisure battery gets very run down.
Do a search, there have been lots of posts on this subject.

I dont do a lot of camping, only in summer. I only really want a light to run off it and maybe a TV. and thats it. Most of the time im out and about not really sat in the van. I`v been thinking and i think it might be a waste of time and money getting an aux battery as i use gas lights and rechargeable batterys in the awning . I like being a bit of a caveman.
