About the aux. battery, the relay = under the driver's seat of your
'91 westy is not for a aux. = battery.
That relay that you mentioned is for = the refrigerator.
It turns the refrigerator on and off, = while it's running
on the 12 volt setting, depending on = if the alternator is charging or not.

I have been wondering for some time whether = my 87 Westy had some built in mechanism to turn off the fridge when it = was set to run on 12 volt and the motor wasn't running.  The = reason I suspected this was that occasionally when I forgot to switch = the fridge off myself, and left the car parked, the battery didn't seem = to discharge at all.  Is that what this snippet implies?  = There is nothing I can find in my owner's manual about this, and it = would sure make life a lot simpler if I didn't have to worry all the = time about shutting off the fridge every time I park the = van.

Can anyone enlighten me on this = question?
