I am almost reluctant to send this = given the debate auxiliary battery installations = seem to cause, but I am going to take the plunge and do the install so I need = help from you Volks. Plus its Friday so why not mix things up a bit! I think = eventually I want to do the full on install the likes of what Bill, Tom, and = Harald have described but for the short term I think I might just go with the = fridge relay or Hella kit solutions. Here are my = questions:
 
1) I am sold on the Optima Deep Cycle = Battery, but they have a few models,most are the same dimensions. Which specific = model should I buy?
2) Did we ever determine if there = was any advantage to the Hella kit over the fridge relay modification on www.vanagon.com?
3) I want to be able to start from the = auxiliary. To do this with the fridge relay I have to jump to the starter battery, = do I have to do this with the Hella Kit?
