G’day everyone
So I’m in the middle of making a decision to go with 2nd battery set up or not[emoji848]
1st question is if I go with putting it under passenger seat.
Where does all of the wiring harness & connectors go once battery is in the void?
Also this battery will mainly be for running the fridge now.
But next year plan on buying a van & that will have batteries that will need charging is there anything else I should be looking at adding for that as well?
If I’m getting a Auto elec to do the job (as I just don’t have the time) also would like to be able to add a solar panel to charge later?
Sorry for so many questions & the long post, thanks in advance.

If this makes a difference
Put in an Anderson plug for the van while you are at it. My suggestion - fit a DC-DC charger with a solar controller - think Ctek D260S Dual or the Projecta IDC25 V2 - as close as possible to the battery and put another Anderson plug on the solar input. You can then plug in an UNCONTROLLED solar panel to charge the auxiliary battery when camped.
I use 13 sq mm cable for all the connections - 6B&S.
Cheers
