Ideally all three should be on the drivers side to avoid access problems when the side awning if fitted is used and you're sitting around under the awning. The fridge heat if vented externally doesn't need to be trapped under the awning and the external shower doesn't need to be creating a puddle under the awning either

assuming from your alias that 146 is your Oka and therefore XT model.
with respect to the wiring, the XT model wiring must have been done by a year 8 work experience kid. The LT electrics are designed a whole lot better.
For example some of the relays are switched on with the key and the high current side of the relay then goes through the device switch to the device (and this is as per the wiring diagram). Defeating the purpose of a relay shifting the high current away from the switch. Some lights go through a main fuse and then two subsequent fuses!! Ever wonder why your battery never fully charges; the battery sense is taken from the alternator output, not the battery +ve. Your auto sparky will have some fun. Not to mention earth points (or lack thereof), the XT one is behind the grill side panels on the front, drivers side near the top.
Don't take the writing on the fuse designator stickers as correct either, or that your wiring is as per the manual.
It's all good fun, isn't it.
cheers,
frank

I'll do a bit of reconfiguring and let you know.

Mary, Trever all your Oka 146 development posts are now here in the Members Vehicles section but your welcome messages are still in the Welcome Mat category here .
Note this Members Vehicles category is accessible by anyone. If you ever wanted to make your entry private (ie for access by registered member only), I can move to to the private category.
You should still be able to edit any of your own posts but if you have any problems let me know.
I'll tidy up (delete) this and some of the admin posts in the near future.
Regards, David
