From Memory ... (On the ISO lead from the Radio) ... Red is LIVE Black is neutral All the other wires are speaker leads ...

On your Caravan Control Panel you should have an "AUX" switch wire it to that (then you have a Fused Live if owt goes wrong)

As for the Aerial ... run a wire to your Exterior TV aerial (if you have a "booster box" there should be a "spare" connection on it if not just get a Normal Co-Ax Splitter (about 50p) ...

If fitting speakers .. DO NOT fit em at High level put em in the Base/Seat units (MUCH better Sound quality thru the van then)

If you can't get into the Control Panel pick up a live feed from the lighting circuit (at the rear of one of the lights they are all 12Volt so no probs there)

Hope this helps


Keith

Yep Everything in the van (Lighting wise) is run on 12 volt (thru a Transformer) you can even take your Caravan battery out completely & as long as you "plug in" to the 240Volt supply EVERYTHING will work "Normally"

The only "True" 240 Volt Plugs are the ones that "LOOK" like yer Household plugs

ALL the lighting in Caravans is 12 Volt
