hi just in the middle of refurbing the ole bus, and one of the main jobs is to sort out all the electrics and it looks like it be wired with whatever was to hand
the habitation side is 12v as per normal and the bus runs 24v so when it comes to charging the 12v leisure batt i can see 3 options but not sure what is best/standard way
1 relay to charge of one of the bus batts (2x 12v in series so link one to leisure batt via a relay will charge fine)
2 bus has a 24v to 12v convertor for radio etc... could pinch a fed of that (but not sure on amp rating of the convertor and dont want to cook it)
3 retro fit a 12v alternator to engine ( so i will have a 24v for main bus batts and a 12v for habitation)
or is there any other ways
