I have connected the cd/radio, fridge, camping lights, water pump to the auxiliary battery. In connecting the alternator to the auxiliary battery, make sure you use a heavy 8 or 10 gauge wire with a 30 or 40 amp fuse or circuit breaker in the line. (Camping World has all this at reasonable prices.) Likewise, fuse or breaker all of your lines coming from the aux battery. --Dave Garth
