unconverted Bongo questions

having now spent two evenings looking for a decent wiring diagram on the web (the one delivered with the relay is POOR!!!)
As we live so close, can you advise a decent Bongo friendly garage that would fit it?
I know a good garage in Rickmansworth but really can't be bothered to go that far....I believe there is a garage in Hertford, but not sure who it is...
I have just joined the members club, hopefully the garage list in there could help, just can't get access until the men in bongo towers unlock the gate for me.

thanks

I recently did exactly what you're trying, and I found this website:

http://www.kampenwagen.co.uk/split%20charge%20relay.htm

was everything I needed to understand what I was actually doing!

One thing I've found - even using a 70amp relay, 50amp cables, and 40amp fuses, the fuses going from the main battery to the leisure battery keep going every now and then (when the leisure battery gets low and pulls a lot of charge from the main battery). If possible, try for, say 60amp cables and then you can use 50amp fuses!

An "intelligent" split charge relay sorts that problem 747

can't say I've ever heard of them! something to investigate at the weekend though, thanks.
