You should also put a 50a fuse at the caravan battery. If the cable between the two batteries gets damaged it is then protected.Cableguy187 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 1:03 pmThanks, 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.

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.

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.

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.
