na, i never got round to it! i wanted to seal off the batt box from water etc before fitting, but decided a few months back to upgrade my 90. so im waiting till i buy my 300tdi before setting it all up.

How would split charge work with 'roof' Air Con as part of consideration alongside fridge etc.?
Does it make a difference where you locate reliant equipment within vehicle - for example - is there only one place a fridge can generally go e.g. is it best as near access to engine front for example (e.g. middle of 2nd row seats - which I think my preference would be ultimately anyway) - or near front as possible for electrical requirements - or makes no difference? (e.g. could fridge go right to rear of vehicle (110 csw) if required? Or generally not recommended? What are the logistics considerations of electrical equipment fit-out or does anything go? How is split charge generally applied to a vehicle? Always just one split charge available?

nice writeup at this link

Hi, roof aircon is not reallly a factor in split charge system as it only works with engine running. Electrical equipment can be located where most convenient Your minimum requirement will be two batteries one as designated start battery, the other to run auxillary loads eg fridge , night lights(not driving light) , in car entertainment, you could split the split but not really needed.

Thanks for clearing that up - solar recharger sounds sensible in emergencies too.
