Hello all,
We took our first drive in the camper yesterday. My wife and our 2 kids joined my mum and dad for a day of cruising around Wexford.
Have a few things to work on....firstly the smell of exhaust fumes inside the camper while driving. I found a split in a diesel pipe under the bonnet and have replaced that this morning. If it’s not that...exhaust fumes are fairly strong outside the camper...might be just drawing air through bulkhead or the heater exhaust vent which is downwind of the side exit exhaust pipe?
Anyway...the point of my post...I took a couple of videos of the leisure battery and associated wiring. Can anyone help me with any thoughts on what the various parts and wires are doing?
Videos and a couple of photos uploaded here, as they were too big to upload to the forum post: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eob…wE4Da?dl=0

From what would be considered locally as a fussy and well respected test centre. The smell from the exhaust is only noticeable when driving, and more pronounced under load, e.g. accelerating up a hill. I replaced a hose from the fuel filter yesterday, and plugged up two empty bolt holes in the air intake funnel and it seems to have sorted it. I think the smell from a small diesel leak under the bonnet was then being drawn in air through the two holes. I'll monitor it.
