Neil, The way I did it in my 84 when I added the interior and I needed power back there was: I took it from the spare battery direct. The spare battery resides under the drivers seat. I ran a big fat line off the battery with a big fuse right there at the battery, in the compartment. Ran that fused supply line through a hole drilled into the pedestal of the seat so that it ended up inside the cabinet under the sink. Then, on the front wall of that cabinet inside, I wired in a circuit breaker/fuse block that I got from one of the racer supply houses online. Has about 6 fused circuits available for all the powered camping stuff and power outlets that I have in my camper. Makes them all run off the Aux battery (Isolated from the vehicle batt by a big relay) so I don't wake up to a flat starter battery. Each of those circuits, from the 'gang-terminal' is fused at that block, too..
