Leisure Battery Wiring Qs - Wiring routing for Battery under bed

Post by ManicGTI »

Apologies if asked before, i've been trawling but can't find much specifics on this.

Van is a twin slider (no full length kitchen), Full width RnR bed, ABS (so no space for Leisure Batt under pass seat).

I'm intending on putting leisure battery under my full width RnR bed.  Flexi solar panels are on the way which I'll be fitting to my Turret pop top.

How are people routing their power feeds from Starter Battery to under bed area?  I don't have a full length kitchen to hide things behind. 

Obvious options I can see are:
- Through the rear heater blank on firewall, under chassis alongside main start cable and new hole up into battery tray under driver seat? 
- Through the rear heater blank on firewall, direct to other end of main start cable at the starter motor end?
