Read the instructions they connect to battery terminals no different than connecting a battery charger post #35Sourcing a fuse with two wires each end and buying a pair of croc-clips is the easy bit.
The tricky bit is finding a suitable place to put each end (using croc clips implies there are bare +ve bits of wire to clip onto - which would not be a good thing in a well-built motorhome)
except one battery is in the engine bay probably and one is inside the vehicle. How do you route the cable from engine bay to location of leisure battey? how do you protect the cable as it goes through holes in bulkhead or through door jambs? what protection is there for the cable in that fairly long route? how you you join the cable to the fuse holder flying leads?Read the instructions they connect to battery terminals no different than connecting a battery charger post 35
It's just down to experience and comfort levels When it comes to the mechanical stuff, I am perfectly happy stripping down brakes for example and done that on loads of vehicles, but something that is regarded as a very basic thing to do by most folk - i.e. doing an oil change - I really don't like to do and have only done that once in my life to my recollection!I ll be ok. i used to strip massive diesel engines so ill be able to route it under the motorhome and up through the engine bay. The fella along from me is a top motor mechanic. Its weird, im fine with anything mechanical but very basic at electrics.
