We have a old caravan which has never been fitted with a Zig/charging system. It is presently fitted with an elderly110 amp which we suspect will have popped off this mortal coil over winter.

Want to replace battery with an transformer. Used to have a French folder years ago and this had one fitted, and if you always on hook up, why bother with a battery?

Anyone one done this? Got any reccomendations to source transformer?

Thanks for any help.

It has never had a Zig fitted.

Just fit one of these :- http://www.amperorassociates.co.uk/c-battery_chargers/BatteryC-3_18A.html

Switch it into float mode and it will sit there all day giving you 13.8v upto 18A.

Great for the price, I had to replace mine this week and this is amazing value for money compared to the rest out there.

It may even recover your battery if left as a 3 stage charger.

Dont want to fit another battery, just want to run the 12 volt side of a transformer.
