It could be argued that you should run a fused wire directly from the battery in a fairly decent sized wire, but I used the large red in the socket that Vauxhall generously fitted in the boot ...... put a fuse in the fuse box up front (27? 28? something like that)

Too long since I've wired one to remember what I did re the blue  :-\

Green is battery positive ie ALWAYS live the blue is via the split charge relay ie only live when the engine is running .... the same as the fridge.

Seem to be anywhere from £7 (for a 15A unit) to £115 (for a 200A unit) on eBay..

Suppose it depends what you call "reasonable" ;)
