I have a 1987 Westy GL USA model That big space under the driver's seat is calling to me to fit another battery. I want to put in a second battery, but I am not sure how to go about it. I want the battery to drive the fridge and lights and I want the engine to charge it (Naturally). But, I don't want it to crank the starter - I don't want to put in the heavy duty cables. My Bently manual (Section 97.9a) shows what seems to be a simple wiring job, but there is no detail. It look like all I have to do is to hook up the new battery to the battery cut-out relay. I can't find the cut-out relay. Has anyone out there done this? How do I do it? Where is the relay? Thanks for your help.
