SNIP "auxiliary batteries did not come stock on westies in the U.S."

At the risk of being overly picky, GL westies did not come with auxiliary
batteries, regular Westfalia campers had them.

The battery under my drivers seat was a regular group 42 battery and I just
replaced it with another group 42 battery. The old one had lasted 8 years.
It powers my fridge for 7 hours on average, without recharging. I installed
another lighter socket off of it and keep my inverter plugged into it and it
alarms when battery level drops below 30%. I can either start the van and
let it charge or plug the fridge into the dash lighter socket and use the
primary battery.
