Don, I see Jacquie has already answered your question. The only thing I would add is:
1. the ground is fairly level
2. we often see motorhomes and caravans in all sorts of weather
3. in the unlikely event that you do get stuck we have a good 4x4 with a 40mm (diameter, not length) rope Smile My son wants to test the rope for real so would appreciate you getting stuck
I have always assumed there is fresh water and waste disposal because of the many times we have seen motorhomes and caravans.

Jacquie, fitting a Battery Master is really easy - you just follow these steps:
1. throw away the instructions
2. fit the thing (anywhere, anyhow)
3. wait for the smoke 'n sounds
4. go find that instruction manual
5. follow the instructions
6. call in the experts to fix the mess
On a serious note, I have fitted various items through the years and would suggest that the complexity of this operation depends on what you start with, what you want to keep, what you want to end up with and finally the capabilities of your particular battery master. having said this, I've never actually fitted a battery master - although I know in general what they do and how they work. I expect someone will tell me I'm wrong Smile

Hi Jacquie a battery master has three wires 2 red 1 black 1 red goes to the positive of your habitation battery, the other to the positive of the chassis battery, and the black to the chassis. ie. trace one of your black battery wires back to were it is bolted on to the chassis, undo the bolt and slip it in there.

Hi Jacquie what about john? isn't that what you women marry us guys for? Very Happy

I can probably do it at Newbury, but have you asked on here if its already built in to your motorhome, my old 2002 Kentucky had a setting on the control panel to allow you to charge the chassis battery or not.

Book in at Cornish Farm Touring Parking as my guest (FOC before I get slagged off for touting) and we will fit if for you free of charge as well. I designed the thing so you be safe with us!

cheers

Well, Eddie's offer is compelling Smile

For the record, find your split-charge relay and connect it there. No need to run separate wires to the batteries then.

Thanks Eddie that's very generous of you I will see you at Newbury Very Happy
I have been carting this Battery Master around with me from van to van and never got round to fitting it but as the van we have now has to last for a bit might as well have it fitted on it Laughing
