Looking at installing a double swivel on the passenger side. The only problem is I have the factory leisure battery fitted, does anyone have any experience with this? Can’t find a swivel that works for this situation and I’m not sure how big a job it would be to move the battery/electrics elsewhere.

This looks suitable but I'm not sure when it will be released :

ALL in ONE double passenger seat swivel base with folding backrest
The Vankraft All in One swivel base offers many advantages over the products currently available and comes with a fold flat backrest bracket which has a more comfortable recline angle built in. Cables for heated seats / airbags / occupancy sensors etc can pass through the swivel mechanism. 240 v...
Did you get an answer back from Vankraft on where they're at with the double swivel? It may be just what I need as well.
I relocated the factory second battery to under the drivers seat. It was pretty easy to be honest.
Everything out of the cab then put all the connector plugs in the groove under the mat and run the battery cables down the centre tunnel groove and divert under drivers instead of passenger seat. All the wires come up through the split in the mat under the seat. Relocate the earth cables to the factory earth point under the drivers seat.
Put mat back down and install Kiravans swivel base.
I’ve never done a van before and this was my first job and it was easy.

If you want decent battery charging you need a dcdc charger. The factory split charger is crap.
What @rover220 said. Martin at travelvolts sells a premade wiring loom that just plugs into the original wiring and gives all the connections for the ctek. It was a life saver for about £30. I’d have been sunk without that. Literally plug and play.
