12v chargers.

and a hair dryer (400w).

Are you _sure_ camping's for you?

I wanted to run my coffee machine but that's 100ow peak, 800w constant and the battery can't supply that level of power

A slight tangent question: Do you guys know of a DPCO relay for use as a split charger? ! circuit to battery, the other 2 fridge. For health reasons there may be occasions where I need to run the fridge of the leisure battery for short periods of time. I don't know how to post images so I can't show you my proposed circuit. I also can't find a very big diode which would do the same job i.e. not drain the main battery.
