Leisure Battery from scratch on 66' T6

[evy]

Hi,

I am looking to convert LWB T6 and I want to stick a small leisure battery under the passenger seat.
(under one seat is already a sub from THQ)
This is only for some LED lighting and some USB charger points.

I would be grateful to hear what exactly I need to run this.

Wanting to be able to use power but not drain the starter battery.
Finished van will be a Day van set up, carpet lined with a rock n roll style bed.


Thanks

James

Leisure electrics sense check

Hi All, I intended to throw in a Clayton LPS for the electrics but I'm now leaning towards having separate components that can be individually purchased and upgraded, which will definitely help with the upfront cost! I also didn't like the idea of a 20kg lump behind me and would rather have the...
