Re: Battery
There's plenty of choice out there. You are limited by the size of the battery spaces under the front seats particularly regarding battery height. So measure up before you buy.

Re: Battery
Although its possible to relocate the leisure batt if you can find a spot for it. Ronsrecord has a joker and his leisure is below his kitchen cupboards.

Re: Battery
My second leisure (110ah) is in the small cupboard left of the fridge (late Westy). I've just looped round the positive with some heavy cable to the leisure in the battery box (Fused of course) then a seperate earth to chassis.
Code 100 (72ah) in the battery box plus the 110ah in the cupboard.
