Firstly, if I needed to work on it I had to kneel down half in, half out of the drivers footwell and fiddle around with wiring at arms length.
Secondly, the 6 circuits available were only permanent live, which meant if I had ancillaries that I wanted to be powered only when the ignition was on (the auxiliary sockets for example), I had to use inline fuse holders which went against the neatness of the fuse board.
I remembered my box of tricks that I removed from the campervan and dug out my trusty "Ripca" 12 way fuse board.
In the van I had all 12 circuits linked, so again they were all live regardless of the ignition, but is time I used a high current relay, triggered by the ignition live feed to switch one bank of fuses, giving me 6 permanent lives and 6 ignition lives.
Perfect.
It all fits inside an adaptable box, with another van refugee, the isolator switch, and a load of multi connectors.
The box is mounted inside one of the rear pockets, but I'm wondering if I could mount it direct to the side of the inner wing, and cut a Suitable hole in the side panel. That way may look neater and I might be able to still use the pocket for small items.
Although I would still want the isolator easily accessible, so that would need to be moved. Something to consider.
Now I can add circuits in a much easier fashion than before.
