Hi fellas.
I'm thinking about fitting a second battery with Sterling charger etc. but it just seems like a lot of money.
Can someone tell me the benefits please?
Thankee

I'm going to look at solar panels for my next van.

Not had a single issue with the Durite VSR.... simple to fit an reliable....
it also allows the vehicle battery to be charged by the solar panels once the leisure batteries are fully charged.

Has your van got smart regenerative charging? the VSR worked fine in my previous vans but it has always been weak in the Custom.
