Just quick question, where is the best place to buy relays for camper electrics?
I have a relay behind my Zig MC-2000 control panel, which allows the fridge to be used on 12v when the engine is running. Unfortunately I think it has died. I'm looking for an SPST-NO, 12VDC, 70A with four contacts (large: 87 & 30, small: 85 & 86).
Have found one (R51-1D70-12P) on Farnell, but they would like to charge £16 for delivery!

Use Google to see if there's a Maplins branch near you - they'll do one. Other than that ebay; won't cost £16 on postage either.

One tip though. Try to buy one thats properly moulded and not the cheap type where case comes away if you so much as pick it up.

I was looking for the 5 pin on-on version the other day, and went via amazon
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B002ZGX ... ss_product
so then I can take cable out to stereo, cigi lighter and more. Dependant on if ignition on or off, I will either use leisure or starter

It's kind of hope for the best in this situation! It'll be fine
