Okay, thanks for the help/advice guys, I'll have another crack at it.
This is supposed to be a shot of the batteries box/tool box.
Let's see what happens.



Yeeha!
That worked.
The batteries box/tool box is the lower panel just in front of the l/h door...you can see the piano hinge at the leading edge.
I'm running one twelve volt battery that is for the mechanical (ie engine/exterior lights,) and two deep cycle six volt batteries coupled together as twelve volts to run the 'house' side of it.
Both systems are coupled to the engine alternator but are independant of each other, so that the house battery cannot drain the mechanical battery and vice versa.
Although, in an emergency, I can run jumper leads from the house batteries to the mechanical battery.
Tucked away in there too, in a separate compartment, is an hydraulic bottle jack, a 3/4" drive T bar with a 6" extension, and two 3/4" sockets, one of 1", and one 7/8" for the stud nuts.
The box itself is lockable....to keep the two-legged mice out.

When we're parked up and plugged into mains power, both systems can/will charge directly from the mains.
