Hymer 12 volt supply (1 Viewer)

[mikekaren2]

Hi, I am going to add a 12 volt distribution point to my Hymer B644 (rear lounge configuration) does anyone know an easy place I can pick up from an existing 12v wire near the kitchen or wardrobe area. I know I may have to run a wire to the dashboard if I can't find one but it would be tidier if I pick up from the middle of the Hymer. Anyone have any advice or experience with this?

Thank's

I ran wires to a 12 volt distribution from the leisure batteries. Quite easy to hide the wires in the under seat lockers, and no chance of depleting the starter battery.

It rather depends on what use you intend to make of the new supply. If it's for lighting or a phone charger (for example) you can use any existing feed. If it's for a vacuum cleaner or an invertor you'll need a new heavy cable with its own fuse. I have the B584. For a medium duty supply you could use the electric step supply if the door is where mine is.

I too ran an independent supply from the leisure bank, independently fused, for use at the front, for lap top charging etc.

Has the 584 got a media cupboard over the fridge? If so there is a 12volt supply in it that could be used for light use, such as phone charging etc, but I agree, if heavy use, then heavier wire direct from the leisure batteries.

Thank you for the fast replies, there is a media cupboard above the fridge, the 12v power supply accessory socket is mounted on the back wall & I can just get my fingers in behind & feel the retaining nut. I can't get anything to in to undo it though. Does anyone know where the wire goes or any ideas how I can undo the socket?
