But before you do any work, we need to know how you intend to use your van.
For example, are you planning on lots of short trips and short stays?
Or short trips with long stays?
Or that round Australia trip, travelling long distances and then long stays between moves?
Based on feedback from thousands of customers over the last 30 years, most people rarely drive more than 2.5 to 4 hours a day when towing a caravan or driving a motor home.
NOTE camper trailer use is somewhat different.
Next, and again based on use, what sort of battery capacity are you looking at, and this will need to be covered before you start any work.
As for finding an auto electrician who knows even the slightest bit about setting up a caravan or even a dual battery system in a vehicles goes. Well best of luck there, as most caravan manufacturers can not do it properly.
I can assure you you will find it hard to get anyone who is really competent with caravan wiring, both 12v and 230vac.
Anyway, can you post up your intended uses and we can start to give you some options.
