Hi Gilles,

Can you be more specific? Is this a 12-volt fluorescent lamp or a
household current lamp? Is the lamp to be mounted someplace in the van, or
on a long wire so you can move it around? Is the aux battery in the normal
location (under the driver seat)? Do you know how to do wiring?

I have heard that The Boatowner's Illustrated Electrical Handbook by
Charlie Wing (ISBN-10: 0071446443, ISBN-13: 978-0071446440) is quite good.
I just added that to the Vanagonwiki in the Electrical section
(http://vanagonwiki.net/index.php/Electrical) -- if anyone has other good
books about 12-volt wiring practices they are encouraged to go to the wiki
and add those titles to the Books about 12 Volt Wiring page.
