A few seasons ago I installed a GoWesty Aux Battery Kit (from Van Cafe). Ever since it was installed I've had a phantom draw that has killed my batteries a few times. I've taken the aux batt configuration apart for a thorough look-over and now am more confused than ever about what goes where. I even still have the original GoWesty install instructions but it's written more for the deconstruction of original config instead of what I'm trying to figure out. I've done my best at interpreting the Bently wiring diagrams as well as the one sent to me 3 years ago by a list member (modified diagram originally by "dog pilot") but my feeble brain is not comprehending. Does anyone have a good picture of their Aux Battery set-up with labelling on the individual wires? In particular, the relay that sits in the aux battery compartment has multiple wires into/out of it. What are all those lines? Also, do both of the wires from the fridge & sink pump go to the battery hot or does on go to the relay…? Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist. Sincerely,
