Sorry I missed both points.
I got hung on the Vanagon thing as that is where we usually focus.

I think you will find that is indicated on my diagram, also recall it
was a diesel, battery and alt pretty much cheek by jowl. I used the
small aux fuse box from a 2000ish golf/beetle to distribute power to
my "improvements" . This panel sat right on the battery.

should also be upgraded or bring a wire from the alternator to the

Remember that normally the alternator, not the battery is the power
source.

check for any errors)
