    You can just remove the live that feeds the inside lights and radio and feed them with the aux battery.
    The easy way to do this is remove the fuse
    and then connect the live side of your aux battery using a connector to the fuse holder.
    Therefore no cutting of wires.
    You will obviously have a fuse box for your new aux battery.

    Hope i have explained this clearly as its early morning and im in a rush to go to work!

    If more detail needed please ask.

    ive wired in my radio to work on the aux and the main at the flick of a switch so i can have it which every i choose, and ive run new interior lights for the back which run off the aux battery. i have run a 240v power board and converter it to 12v dc and wired in a old 4wheeler headlight for my portable flood light lol , my old mans a sparkie so its all legit
    the interior lights i have came out of my old caravan and are 12v and 240v so once i get it all set up i can run 240v from a house or powered sight. lots of stuff still to do but ill be heading off in about 12hrs for a week so ill see how it all goes. im used to normal camping so this will be a treat,

    Hi we have a Kombi Beach with a second battery, and i have no idea what is actually running off it, as far as i know a couple of LED lights and an aux plug by the drivers seat, is that it ? i would think the radio is off the main battery, would you know? says nothing in the manual.

    I'm thinking of a power inverter as well, i can't survive without espresso in the mornings and they say you need a pure sine wave for laptops but they are much more expensive. what type would you recommend.
