And I've lost faith in the idea of it being under the bonnet now, theres not really any room to mount it now ive had a good look. I might build a compartment in the rear for it and the aux battery, dunno yet.
There is a simple solution if you want to use an auxiliary battery (12v) to run the compressor. A redarc BCDC 1240 will accept 24v to charge a 12v battery. (It will also enable you to connect solar panel(s) to charge the aux battery without needing to buy a another solar regulator if you want to do that down the track).

Thanks for that cuppa, I always thought that you couldn't earth a 12v battery to a 24v earth. Obviously its doable haha, I might need to brush up on my electrical skills
