Re: Reversing camera - ground connection?
From memory! And it's about 5 years
Used the seatbelt bolt. It's huge and welded directly into the chassis.
Theirs one low down near the light cluster. With care can pull back the trim and hide the wires behind

Re: leisure battery..
I had a go outside battery last year.
Looked after it all year. Keeping it charged.
One time charge dropped to 11.9v battery.
Battery damaged and only takes 75% charge.
So would try a different make. I will next time.
Bought a solar panel to help.

Having got euro LV breakdown cover for my 19 year old van. i am reassured that the worst the worst will be finishing the holiday on the back of a truck and using one of the bongo friendly Southampton garages.
