I've got an 85amp leisure battery and split charge relay thingy which all works fine. What I was wondering was: I want to add a 2nd 85amp batt to give me cold beer , lights and music for longer. Do I just get some (correct guage) cable and connect the terminals on each +ve to +ve and -ve to...

Bought some BRM's last month. They came with nearly new tyres - 155 for the fronts and 165 on the rear all 15inch rims. I'm currently running 185/65/15s and wondered if the tyres on the BRM's are too skinny or are they ok? Cheers

Gonna set about tackling my "must do before Vanfest" list and near the top is the fitting of a leisure battery and split-charge kit to run the stereo, etc. i'm thinking a 110 amp/hr battery will be sufficient and a split charge kit from Maplins or similar. a few questions for you all: * is...
