I have the Kameo and found all the wiring was run up where the zig unit would have went (i found it when I fitted one) The feed wires were in the cupboard under the cooker and both linked to the main battery, just disconnected one and connected it to my leisure battery(which I put in that cupboard). The panel in the cupboard had an electrical warning label on it, something with a lightning bolt if I remember.

Anything else just ask :)

I have a Karisma which comes with a leisure battery but the ZIG charger is pants so I wired up an auxiliary charger from one battery to the other. there is a relay for your fridge probably under drivers seat (which only comes on with the engine started :) ) I took the signal for the spilt charge relay from this and then put a beefy relay/fuse and cable from one battery + to the other under the passenger seat. If you dont mind losing cupboard space lone gunman has put his battery in the under sink cupboard which gives you more options on battery sizes
Routing cable, I managed to get a narrow hollow tube just wider than the cable to go down the carpeting on the outside of the battery housing which allowed me to feed the cable to the floor without messing up the carpet too much, then slide the tube out leaving the cable in place. Then along the bottom of the small step that goes into the cab, stuff it under the carpet, and back up the inside of the carpet on the other side with the holow tube trick again (harder going from bottom to top). charges much better now.

I have one somewhere - will try and have a look this week.

I seem to remember it was very unhelpful but at least it matched what was fitted in the van. Also I dont have a fuse under the drivers seat, just the split charge relay under the passenegr seat and none of the internal electrics were wired to the leisure battery...

I have both early wiring diagrams, i.e. the one just wired to engine battery and the one with the Zig unit/heater etc if they are any help?
Kind regards
