wiki is your friend..
for fitting a leisure
split charge relay
fuses

as for a "zig" that's a trade name for a type of battery charger that charges your battery when hooked up to the national grid.

in the wiki are diagrams for wiring in your fridge .pumps heaters etc

I would have thought the devon has a split charge relay set up already

maplins supply the relay and the cabling, fuses etc

Thanks Kev

Maplins had a visit today.

The van has the origonal split charge system, however never had any joy getting power to it?

Will have a look in Wiki
