Is there a live feed in rear of caddy?
I need to keep a second 12v battery charged up when the engine is running (for a small water pump), is there a live I can tap into to give the second battery a small constant charge or do I have to go thru the fuse box or direct to main battery with additional fuse etc, many thanks.

I'd run a separate wire from the main battery and also use a split charge relay. That way you wouldn't need to keep the engine running when using the pump.
Saying that perhaps you could use the rear wiper motors live feed.

Thanks Horace01 I might look into the split charge relay from the starter battery, all the best.

Just got one from Ebay, its says its for the T5 but will work on anything, £58 and comes with everything you need plus an inline fuse box so you can just connect your 12v accessories straight onto it.
