An interesting read and unfortunately - all very true

I will just make the point that I personally would always run at least a 4mm from the front to the back as the main feed, to avoid volts drop. You then have spare capacity for caravan battery charging, the fridge and the lights without too much impact upon the voltage when it eventually gets to the back of the caravan.

My OS didn't terminate in a plug, it was just bent over and taped. Your thin green to the light switch, seems to be already at that plug, but mine had to be run across to the switch.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
