Thanks, what is the best way to fit a supply for the rear? I have an invertor, just want charging points, led lights, and a socket or two. I won't be using it all the time.
Just wanted to know where to take my feed from and what parts I'd need, thanks.

You connect your additional loads to the connection points, via an inline on the rear of the seat box. You need a ring end on the cable, and m5 nuts to fasten them on.
