[QUOTE="M107, post: 44877, member: 28"] You need an AC change over switch (contactor/relay for want of a better word) last one I used was a filax auto changeover unit. I'd look at using the newish Reya Dolphin units as these act as a charger for leisure batteries & act as a AC consumer unit. To run an inverted battery supply look at Victron Inverters, pricey but hassel free. So you could have a 16amp inlet for mains + a leisure battery inverted through a victron unit feeding into a AC chage over switch, this then feeds the Dolphin charger/cu which inturn feeds the sockets & lighting. The dolphin charger also links to the vehicle battery to keep battery charged, the vehicle battery is then linked to a vsr (volt sensing relay) that is linked to the leisure battery. This way you'll get split charging via the mains & vehicle alternator for both leisure & vehicle battery If I get time later I'll knock up a block diagram for you. But for now this is one of the better suppliers of the kit your looking for & they have helpful down loads on the site.
