Where to buy relay for camper electrics?

Post by nathanv »

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.

I was looking for the 5 pin on-on version the other day, and went via amazon

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 :lol:. If not, I'm sure yet another tie wrap will save the day!! :D
