Hi,

just wondering, why not do what I do with my aux battery and that is
supply the entire fuse panel with power when relay connected? The main
staret wire is left as is connected to battery, but fuse panel wire
runs through the relay.

I haven't had any problems with this set up for 3 years, am I missing
something?

RE: Interior Lighting
Although I haven't moved all my interior lights to the aux battery,
the best solution I have seen is to make the change at the fuse block
under the dash.  All the interior lights and radio run off fuse 3.
Remove the fuse an run a fused line from the aux battery to the load
side of the fuse bracket, this will move the interior accessories off
the starter battery.
As for adding lights, when I added lighting above the front seats I
pulled the headliner loose and tapped into the wiring above the
drivers door, the line that runs back inside the tray above the
sink/stove.  And for the rear light I added above the rear seat/bunk,
I pulled that tray loose and tapped into the line at the stock light
and ran a pair of wires from the back end of the tray to the center of
the headliner (in my '85 w/o AC) or in the case of my current '90 with
AC into the AC plenum to that light.
Hope this helps. It's not complicated, but does require pulling a
bunch a little screws and some sneaking of wires.
