Second batteries were generally installed in base Camper models which had no sink or stove but did have a refrigerator. This refrigerator was 12VDC/120VAC powered with no capacity for propane power like the refer in the complete GL Camper models. Since there was no propane power VW included the second battery to allow you to power the fridge overnight without running down the primary battery. Jim Davis 87 GL Syncro 88 GL Wolfsburg
