Good morning,

We have been away now about 6 or 7 times and I think we are getting the hang of it.......(Famous last words).

I have completed a couple of DIY jobs (changed crystal for a Truma ultraflow water filter and fitted a 230V outside socket for the awning cool box)

Anyway heres my latest questions????

1. The battery is not charging when on EHU, I thought this was automatic when towing on 12S or on EHU - Do I NEED to have the selector switch set to caravan? I normally leave it in the middle......I have seen some say that the selector must be on Caravan.

2. There is an alectical switch that is located on the front panel of the front Off Side bench bed - right down low at floor level (Fairly well hidden fom normal view). It looks like a light switch - I think it MAY be 230v electrical supply to the Cascade
2 water heater? Or is it the battery charger????? I only use Gas to heat the water. When I switch it on there is a small red light next to the switch... It has an orange cable the runs from the back of the switch into the 230v RCD box.

Any assistance appreciated.
