[QUOTE="jonboylaw, post: 526185, member: 17621"] I would advise fitting a double socket powered by the hookup and a single socket to the inverter for simplicity. That way you can avoid plugging the kettle or hair dryer into the inverter powers socket. Other than that wire as follows. LB to new fuse box. One of the feeds connected to the trickle charger with a suitable fuse. The charger should take a 5a feed from an RCD unit. The other RCD circuit should be something like a 10a that feeds the double socket. You want to ensure the van Breakers trip before the hook-up pole does to avoid tripping the site supply. The feeds for the inverter, stereo, amps, lights and Propex can then be taken from the LB fuse box with suitably rated fuse and wiring ( fuses always less than wiring please). Also ensure you ground the hookup and sockets really well. You really don't want to risk an un earthed 230v supply. Sent from my GX64 SatCom phone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
