My DIY Van Mount Build Thread (with pics) part3

[jimmyboots]

The control board and tap fittings, fitted to the Tank.



Note there is a tap straight from the tank and then another one after the tee with hose fitting to drain tank or fill 25 litre drums if needed



Next I wired to the battery and wired in the self switching relay for battery charging. instructions are in the kits on how to wire.



Then box the battery in for protection if you feel it could get knocked.



Next I connected Hose from the pump to the reel. I found it a good idea to have quite enough hose so I could move the reel from the van to where Ineeded outside the van.

The tank is 350 litres. From the tank is a reducer from 1" to 1/2"

Is the leisure battery you bought the same as in the link below?

If not, would that one be suitable for a similar setup?

I forgot to mention the split charge relay. Is the one in the link below the correct one to go with the above battery?

Yes mate that's the same battery, cheaper now too /emoticons/smile.png and the split charge relay kit is the same as well.
