auxilliary fusebox

Post by scottbott »

I was getting fed up with the wires that I had been adding to the leisure and starter battery as things were bought and connected up so I thought there must be a better way,so,I bought an additional fusebox and could not figure out where to put it,there was 6 things coming off the leisure battery and 4 off the starter battery,this is what I have done so far,it looks better in photo's but when I fit my webasto(thanks oldiebutgoodie) I will remove the carpet on the 'sloping' part of the rear bulkhead under the rear seat and somehow try and do a better job hiding the wires from the leisure battery with the carpet that was removedImageImageImageImage

Looks good, but why fit it on the outside of the seat box? Fitted mine inside, just in front of the battery

just behind it is a factory hole for the wires to come and run across the walkthrough part.
I fitted a slightly bigger fuse box at the back to run powerpoints, lights ect at the back

with my autosleeper swivel base and the battery there is a gap of about 3/4'' cannot get my hand in there,would have liked to have done it your way,I did look at the photo's of your installation,it is a pain in the a*** as it is storage space that is basically unusable in my van

Ah yes, swivel base... I don't have one on the driver seat. Sorry forgot about that.
