I'm in the market for another Battery for my Hymer, but living in the Royal County leaves us rather short of suppliers. Anyone have any recommendations for suppliers:

1. Of batteries
2. Of general Motorhome bits n pieces

in or near Berkshire

Batteries....Halfords, Tyre services, etc etc..They normally come with an acceptable guarantee and are unlikely to be of lower quality than a rip off M/H dealer.

Ahh, not specific enough in my question - I meant leisure batteries ......

Halfords and others will all sell leisure batteries if you ask for them.
My boat ran on leisures from my local motor parts shop in Norwich and my M/H has run on two Halfords leisures for the last three years with no problems and I am not particularly careful at looking after them The one on my boat ran for about 6 years before I changed it and that was left untouched in the Med for 8 months every winter layup period whilst I was here at home.

Thanks....sounds like tomorrow would be a good day to go fro a drive round that way then.......

I must admit, tried hunting the web ( my usual first port of call for these things) and came up with few, or poor results - guess many of these suppliers are not so web aware, or their market isn't

I'll look out for a Rapido in the area in the future.....
