I’m a bit out of my depth here so pls forgive me the newbie question:
If I have a 1994 80 series diesel with two batteries in the front, why would I want to add another battery in the rear to do the “house” stuff, like awning lights & charging gadgets & powering fridges etc.
Is it simply because the type of battery that is used to crank the 24v at start is not the same kind of battery you would use for running the “house”… or am I missing something?
Is it possible to run the “house” battery in the front, but also use it for starting??
And lastly, I can see you can get 12v air pumps for tyres on Amazon so assume that the inverter is not used for that - which means the inverter is mainly for ac type plugs (laptops/toothbrush charger/battery charging etc) - or does the inverter also get used for “house” stuff….??
The Mrs has agreed to December camping & exploring, so now taking lessons from Spain in August and raising the bar a bit so the Mrs stays keen!!
