I own an 80 series L'cruiser on gas and petrol. I also tow a caravan quite alot and because of the space under the car bonnet I have installed a Trojan DSB on the drawbar of the c'van.
I have run two pairs of 8g cables from the car battery via a solinoid to a large diameter Utelux type socket at the rear of the car. One set of these cables goes straight to an Electrolux 3way fridge in the caravan. The other pair of cables connect to the DSB on the drawbar and in turn feed the internal lights in the caravan, the radio and an Engle fridge.
While the ignition on the car is turned on and the engine running all electrical equipment is running and when the engine is off the Electrolux fridge is isolated but the remainder of the equipment is being fed from the Trojan battery which is also isolated from the car.
I have not fully tried out the system and would like to have any comments that may be forthcoming.
I must add that the road lights and electric brakes are all fed via a seperate socket at the rear of the car. Both pairs of auxillery cables are connected directly to the main battery of the car.
