This post is slightly different from the usual, as it's all to do with my campervan. As some of you might know, I enjoy camping and have converted a Renault Trafic into my very own campervan, equipped with all the mod-cons one might expect when camping in luxury.
One of the downsides to this luxury is that it all uses a lot of power... the lights draw about 10W all in, the inverter sips around 30W just at idle, and don't even get me started talking about the diesel heater. All this power has to come from somewhere, and for me, it's a leisure battery.
