Abbey freestyle 470se
We have recently bought the van listed. This is our first foray into caravanning after camping.
We have just had our first trip to a fully serviced site.
All works fine ( a few bits took some working out but it just added to the experience)...
The van is now outside the house to fix a few bits and gives our son or I a place to chill.
Here's my question (finally I hear you say)
All the electric works fine when on ehu. Both the 240 and 12.
When I disconnected the ehu I seemed to have no 12v...
I checked fuses, chased cables etc. All was OK. Checked battery and had 12.6v so deemed battery OK.
Got under seat behind battery and checked fuses and relay etc then was able to tack onto a 12v socket. This gave only .5v when main switch was on caravan, 0v on middle or car. This worked as this flawlessly.
I was at a loss but now found a way to get my caravan to switch to 12v mode.
I was lost as sometimes if I just waited the 12v might come on but if i have the ehu on, switch on charger, switch to caravan, turn off charger, knock off main fuse... I have 12v
If I turn caravan to centre and back I lose 12v
I would like to travel and use the leisure battery.. Anybody any ideas? What is going on. Am I missing something.
