As far as the dash "accessories" go, Mark Drillock pointed me to fuse #3. Pull it, run a wire (fused) to the lower "post"
(male spade) on #3, from the aux battery + side. Seems to be working well.
I'm "guessing" that if you'll go to the red wire that runs into the small fuse block on the front of the sink cabinet, behind
the driver seat, that you will be able to determine which wire powers the "kitchen light". (no Bentley in front of me)
Cut and tap into that wire directly (fused) to your aux battery.
