    Posted: 02 Sep 19 at 20:01
Just picked up my first camper of any kind. 1987 Swiss delivered Club Joker. We are from the UK, but live in Switzerland. Wanted a relatively cheap way to see the place.

All original, will very little rust - seems to be common here.

Anyway, i am new to all this camper stuff - I have a self modded mx5 back in the UK so have some clue how to do things... (build thread if anybody interested: http://mighty5s.com/thread/130/zoonas-car-affectionately-baby?page=12)


I am looking into the leisure battery wiring. Mainly to give it the once over, but also want to add a few USB sockets etc.

Had a peak under the drivers seat (LHD) to see what i could see of the wiring, and found cables going to an old bullet fuse box and a blade fuse box that looked like an afterthought.

Can anybody tell me if this is standard, or has been added (this is looking backwards from the driver's seat at the side of the sink cupboard:



Secondly, can anybody point me to a decent wiring diagram for all this?

I have tried searching on the forum but not had a great deal of luck... Any tips on finding stuff here?


Thanks...

The 2 fuse panel is the standard one.
One fuse serves the waterpump, the other one the fridge.
And that is all that is on your leisure battery in the standard setup.

The 4 fuse panel is something that has been added, so if you don't have information on that, you're on your own I'm afraid.
