Hello,

I have recently bought a 1988 VW camper and it has the usual 240v mains hook-up but no facility for 12v lighting/power.

Is there an 'easy' way to install a simple 12v system?  Ideally I want a couple of lights and a power point installing,  not so concerned about split charge relay, as I am quite happy to charge the battery up as and when needed.

Are there any kits available?

If I went down the route of having a system installed by an auto electrician what would i be looking at £££ ?

Thanks

Mike

Hiya this would be a good place to start, ebay no, 110480870961 simple enough to run a power feed to it direct from a leisure battery

Hi there,just seen your post. Probably sorted by now but if not there is an ongoing thread in the Just Campers tech section. I was also having a problem getting a small enough battery for my  '89 T25 but have found one.

Measured mine carefully, even made a 'cardboard battery'!  The battery I took out was 170. Couldn't get one that small but found one at 175 which JUST works. Stuck heavy duty plastic to the top of the battery case to stop shorting. 3 year guarantee, free delivery, £59.99. Pity I couldn't get it from JK but theirs was over twice the price when I called this morning and too high anyway.

Let me know if you would like details.
