The thought came to me, apart from the fridge and a few lights what else would/have you connected to the leisure battery and are they plugged or hard wired? I'm driving to Portugal in the winter and have done it several times but only had a couple of lights and the fridge. That seemed plenty but any suggestions? Already have EHU.
What have you got connected to 12v in the van?

Well, I asked for that 
. I've got solar but seem to rough it compared. No heater, wi fi, tv, sink, water pump or shower. I have got a Anker c1000x power station but i have never found a reason to use it in the van so far but I will do going to Portugal being off grid for so long. I have no wish to be connected to wi fi or have a tv when out and about. Thanks for all the suggestions, as I said I have lights and fridge on 12v which still seem sufficient for me, I like to get away from home. Thanks again.
