Thanks, I have ordered one off Ebay for $192 delivered.

Sorry, I see you already answered the question above.

Thanks for all the input guys, I think I'm sorted.

You should also put a 50a fuse at the caravan battery. If the cable between the two batteries gets damaged it is then protected.

I think after further research I am going to change my design and run 2x cables to the towbar.

#6B&S for charging and a #8B&S for the fridge.

Diagram attached for suggestions and comments.

Thanks
EDIT- file did not attach

Put your 50a fuse as close to the battery as practical, before the vsr.

Its not much more expense so due to distance use the larger cable on both to limit voltage drop.

Although mine is programmable I have not changed the default settings.

Hey Stewart, I tried to send you a couple PM's but they are sitting in my outbox and then disappearing..

Could you please send me a picture or twoo of where you mounted your VSR?

Thanks,
Shawn

PMs stay in outbox until read.

Image attached. Setup with my custom battery tray suited when I had the drawer installed. Might change the layout again but just mount VSR next to it.
