I am about to buy a good tyre inflator - a Ring RAC 900.
It doesn't connect to the cigarette lilghter socket, though - it clips on to the battery terminals.
I nipped down to the storage facility to make sure the connections would be easy.
However, firstly, the battery isn't where I thought it would be and secondly, I wonder if I actually need it.
My van is a Knaus Sky Ti on a Fiat 130 chassis, a 2013 model.
Inside the bonnet is a plastic cover which says Fuse Relay.
To one side is a plastic lift-up flap.
Under here is a metal tag with a big + sign on it.
Am I right in thinking I could attach a crocodile clip to this and the other one to any bit of the chassis to act as the earth.
Or, am I just making daft assumptions.
And, where is the battery?
I will be very grateful for any help, please.

The battery is usually under the passenger seat and the terminal you have found is used to piggy back another battery if yours goes flat. :)

Could you use your tyre inflator from the leisure battery? Usually easier to get at. :)

I can't be specific but a lot of motorhomes have the batteries under the front seats. Ours are.


Damn Puddleduck beat me to it!

Thanks for these replies.
Is that terminal with the + sign live, please, and can I use it.
And, I haven't got a clue where the leisure battery is, yet.
I'm going to have to start looking.

Thanks, pappajohn, our replies crossed.
I will go ahead and buy the compressor now.

Yes to the terminal with the +ve sign

If you have a garage the leisure batter may be in a well under the floor in there or in a cupboard under the fuses / controller etc. You need to have a good look and find it :)
