I now simply have a standard 100Ah battery in a box in the boot space and linked to a Traxide dual battery controller.

I looked at the link above ,, "N" series size ,, not real big ,,,

I have had dramas when using the winch also

Think i will go down the path of I Good quality battery ( As large as i can fit )
And a Gell in the rear to keep the fridge Up to power ,, I have a batter controller on the shelf so will stick that in line ,,

Will make it on a slide so it can be removed easy ,,, I have 50 amp anderson plugs all around the Land rover ,, for compressor ect so when camping i can plug the fridge and have the generator with the 10 amp charger on the other side ,,,,

Thanks everyone ,,
Very helpful

Rod,
Easiest location to put a battery of sufficient capacity to run fridges etc, is in the storage bin in the rear on the drivers side. Slim line 120 AH deep cycle fit a treat, and you can go larger if you wish. Run the wiring up the R/H chassis rail, through the floor behind the bin (remove the vent and you will see where to bring the wiring up through floor) and then drill a hole into the bin. Works a treat, it is out of the road, yet readily accessible.
Hope this helps.
