Very

Place fixings to hold in place

Run one wire from postive to a small fuse block then run a wire from other side to each appliance (or group ie couple of lights on one fuse)

Then sort out how you want to charge the battery

Funny enough we've got a 575 Trigano Randger bought new last year and I'd like to fit a leisure battery.  The folding camper has a charger unit in it but I don't know how to wire it to the units charger/transformer so it charges from the car aux socket.  I'll keep looking here for any tips. Ta ever so

If yours is the same the layout as the pathfinder I'd seriously look at having it done properly with an external battery box. It is accessed when the camper is closed. So you can put the battery in and out. The external power point is great for the awning if you don't have one now and you can run a fridge or cool box.

No tear drop I meant from the external power point not the battery.
