Hi, Ive got another question. I've got two speakers in the back of my camper. I'm not sure what to attatch the wires that come from it to so I can listen to music. Ideally I'd like a device that I can have the Internet on, if anyone's got any ideas that would be great. I've thought about fitting them to the stereo in the cab but that would drain the domestic battery. Thanks

Andrew, a neighbour's son has just got his first car and fitted a 1000Watt sound system! Now, that would drain your battery!

Now, normally you would connect the speakers to the cab radio, but that would eventually drain the starter battery. To prevent this, my radio turns off after 20 mins. if the engine isn't running.

I don't worry about gadgets in my van, but if I take my laptop, I connect a pair of speakers to it for music. I could, should I wish to, stream music or video assuming I had an internet connection.

I'm tired of reality, so I'm off to look for a good fantasy.

We are thinking about fitting a car radio into the lounge of our van and I would think you can run that from the leasure battery and then connect a couple of speakers to it. Was there perhaps a radio in the back of your van?

Thanks, it's possible that there was a radio in the back of my van. The two speakers are in place with the wires.

Andrew you mention having the Internet on in your original post, I am assuming you have a device that already streams from the Internet and you would like to conect said device to the speakers? The minimum you will need is a small amplifier that will drive the speakers, your device is then connected to the amplifier via a cable to provide the signal.
