sure someone can help me with this one. bare with me, it's a bit long winded!

my 100 series ULP has a daul battery set up with main hooked up to starter and all aux's. (Engle,CB and the boys DVD player.)
the secondary is stand alone and push button activated to join in if the main is low. Problem with this set up is the batteries equalise and this left me stranded in Fitzpatric NP with a dead main and a half charged secondary which wasn't enough to kick the petrol guzzler over! ( the car hadn't been started for about 10 hrs and the boy watched the idiot box for about 2 hrs.)

should I just get a monitor and a thumper (for back up) for the batteries or change the aux appliances over to the secondary and have main battery as stand alone for starting the engine?

will towing a camper with 12/240 volt dual battery system require a specific set up in the tow vehicle.

cheers,

Evan
