What dc -dc charger did you use and how did you connect it in your caravan?

It's a renogy dcdc30. If you look at my ac charger upgrade video you'll see it and the wiring.
Do you have to do any others changes to the car to power the dcdc charger.or just remove the fuse and replace the charger thanks

No changes to the car at all, just use that splitter to move the feed to the dcdc in the van and dont add the fuse which would pass power through the original route. Look out for the 2nd video in my channel on the chargers

With your dc2dc charger you have the power from the fuse box but have you taken the negative of the battery itself

Yes, it has a common negative for all sources.
