leisure batt advice

[dub boy]

where to start :shock: ,ive got three weeks before bus has to be at trimmers so need to get leisure batt and 240 hook up fitted.ive looked through countless posts and there not really showing what i want so if i list i would be gratefull for a drawing or advice.
the only things to run will be a 12v socket up front and one in the rear (these will only be for phone charging ect ,nothing to heavy)
two 12v dvd head rest units
stereo up front
one led strip light in the rear of the bus

the 240 side of things is just one socket in the rear for the boss to plug her hair dryer in when hooked up and run a fan heater ,this is pretty much what we have used in the tent in the past so i should be ok fitting this.

was only going to fit a 85 a hour batt as it wont be getting that much use, mainly kids watching films at shows.

i have a jks split charge kit (hella) i bought this a long time ago and have lost the instructions for wiring it comes with a fuse box and the relay is fused but i am unsure of the thickness wire i need to be useing and fuse sizes.

i feel like a complete numpty as i made a loom for my bus from scratch but i just copied a drawing from here and my old loom , i can put my hand to anything but sadly my understanding of maths and figures for wire rateing are bad . the wife says i should be proud i can turn my hand to most things but maths is a very bad weak point in my life ,if its on paper and i know what to go and buy i can make it.

sorry to go on

Thinking about running one cable from leisure battery to the gap between the front seats an putting my fuse box there ,mainly so I don't have to run loads of cables to the rear .i have looked at a few threads and similar method has been done before I am going to put a fuse as close to the battery as poss but unsure what size cable and fuse to run :?

I went 25 amp fuse and 35 amp wire I think. Far more than I expect to draw but keeps it flexible

I have a 85 AH leisure battery which I have had for a year and not going to use. if you are interested I'm after £35 for it, but you'd have to collect from north east hampshire.
