Your Best Modification?

[The Bishop]

My Van is still new and I'm enjoying ticklling with it.

I've insulated most of it which is working well at reducing noise and increasing warmth. But I still need to get the units out to do behind them and wondering whether it is worthwhile. Tow bar fitted, new leisure battery.

Have serviced it and cleaned it. Running out of jobs (perhaps this is only temporary )

So what have you done, what is the single best modification that you have done to make the T25 better?

(PS mainly used as a daily run about and camping trips)

Mains charger, split charge and twin batteries FREEDOM!!

This is interesting. I have two batteries (a nice big leisure) and a splitter. I was wondering if I could wire a lidl battery charger into the supply side of this splitter and connect to my mains circuit so that whenever I can "hooked up" I trickle charge my batteries - would that work or would it damage my batteries?

PS - what is the difference between a splitter and a ZIG unit?

Zig is a brand name for a split charge and 240V system a splitter would normally be just a relay that connects the batteries together when the engine is running. I am not an electrician, but there is no problem connecting one battery at a time to the charger. after all that is what it is designed to do, but I would not want to be charging both batteries at the same time with it as they will have different capacities and charge at different rates 'confusing' the charger. I would be tempted to wire it straight to the Leisure possibly with a manual switch to disconnect from the leisure and hook up to the driving battery. It would bea lot easier just to clip it to the relevent battery when you needed it of course!

Yep, as Bob says Just wire to the Leisure battery, but you cannot really use any battery charger (see WiKi). The unit I fitted I got off fleabay and it was not cheap, but reckoned to be as good if not better than the zig and others you find on there and it is fitted neatly under my drivers seat with room to spare. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FAF25-25A-Fit ... 415e5bf358
