Basically you be best to add additional 12v lighting etc on separate circuits and power em from battery which in turn gets mains charger or such to top up batteries when mains available

Why don't you start telling us for what purpose you want the 12volt?
Is it just for a light? ... do you need more power? TV, satelite dish, computer radio?
How much AH would you use daily?
I always would recommend the use of a leisure battery.
I would also recommend to have all connections made, calculations done, fuses installed, by someone who knows what he is doing.
