Which Leisure Battery?

[dom_trig]

Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this, reading with interest and lots of informative comments. Looking to install a leisure battery in our 2018 Shuttle but don't have the time (and probably lack the acumen). Therefore, does anybody know of/can recommend and installer in Durham?

Many thanks in advance

@Dellmassive That's a very useful post! May I ask, how would you wire the output of the inverter to a CBE socket for neatness?

Would you wire up a 3-pin plug with a flying lead to the back of the socket?

That’s how ours is wired. We have a single inverter fed socket on the gable end of the kitchen behind the drivers seat. The remote control for the inverter is fixed at the side of the socket.

Yes..

Just make up a fly lead, as you mentioned.
