Hi, I’m looking to equip my Nimrod TT with a permanently wired electrical system both 240v and 12v.  Any help on the following would be much appreciated…

240v

Fine with 240v indoors (I do sheds too) but I’m presently searching for a caravan style hookup socket for permanent mounting on the trailer body, and a purpose made distribution/circuit breaker/rcd unit for campsite 240v (probably the sort of thing you’d have in a caravan).  Would this type of thing include a transformer/link to the 12v circuit, to run the 12v stuff and charge a leisure battery when connected or would that be an additional bit of kit?  Does anyone have anything like this or know where’s the best place to get them?

Also, is there anything special about the flavour of 240v supplied at campsites?

12v

Entirely in the dark here.  Any info on:

Ø      battery life (e.g how long a fridge will run off a leisure battery)

Ø      12v distribution, 12v wiring components available for camper/caravan

Ø      Components required and how to wire up so a leisure battery can charge from the car circuit when travelling and via the 240v hookup socket when on site or at home.

All will be most gratefully received (shortcuts to websites with info especially helpful, thanks.)

Cheers all
