Ok, push the button...

Today I've pushed the button.

But obviously I've taken precautions and checked everything with an electrical specialist first. Finally I'm getting married next weekend, and it would have been very sub-optimal, if I had imitated the consumer in the circuit.But now the facts: After checking the connections of the wiring, all fuses and circuit diagrams, we connected the battery to the 12V network. Measured everything at different points, all ok! Then we went to the 230V mains. CEE-plug connected, "main charge lit" correctly on the automatic loading, checked again at various points, everything ok.Mission Accomplished.

In the recent weeks I have lined the inside of the right-hand side of the cabinet with velvet. Then I tried out the possible openings for the front wall of the left side cabinet, and finally today I layed a 2nd cable for the utilities  from the engine battery to the electric box.
