Hi
I added another battery in front of wheel arch -----but to improve charging when travelling I fitted much heavier cables from the truck batteries, this has made a huge difference to charging-----I fitted a manually controlled relay so that I can pinch a bit of power if the camper is running low. I can now run with the 'fridge on 12volt while travelling---first time since owning the truck/camper.
I connected the new charge cables with Anderson plug to enable camper to be removed (but in general it stays on the truck).
I also fitted Anderson plug on outside near dump point to run a macerator----dumping tanks is not as simple for us in Europe as it is in US---we sometimes have to pump a distance into a public toilet etc.--(we wild camp (boon-dock) most of the time so don't use campsite dumps.
