Getting there!
Presume I can just fit it on the B2B connections as so:

+starter battery SB Brown Wire
+leisure battery WB Red Wire
- any of the neg terminals Black Wire

Thanks in advance …

Correct, that's just what I did.
 
A picture of what you have done, or a idiots guide diagram would be useful for me, as I have just bought a MB and yet to fit and I believe I have the Schaudt booster under the floor somewhere, thanks in anticipation John
 
It now looks like this … the wires from the battery master are just inserted into the booster along with the cables from the starter and leisure batteries.

Well that looks easy, just need to find my Schaudt booster, (when we get home) am away until August and found that whatever my starter battery has been getting from the OE setup is not enough to keep it fully charged, I'm thinking the cause is my tracker and having to have the engine off when deploying/retracting the hydraulic rams, that due to having a electronic handbrake, plus supplying 12v to the fridge/freezer whilst on the move.

My previous 21 plate Mercedes Sprinter seemed to have a heavy draw on the starter battery when parked. It would go into warning mode after about three weeks of not being used. I think the Hymer control panel read a bit over pessimistic on the battery state but the Mercedes Me App used to send critical battery warnings which I found useful. I fitted the battery master and that pretty much fixed it.

Well ... here's a thing...

I seem to have two Battery Masters connected ...!

I opened some of the cable tidy ducts today and Battery Master number 2 popped out! I didn't know that was in there. Maybe the first owner fitted it?

Not sure if that would have been a problem but I'll disconnect the the one that I added a couple of weeks ago.
