    Hello and welcome. I can't help but suggest you have a word with a fellow camper when one appears 😉, its a bit early yet!

    If you're on a club site I'm sure the wardens could answer your question or suggest a local  engineer. If its still early there maybe an engineer details in the information room.

    I hope you get sorted soon and enjoy your trip. Keep us posted

    Hi, Just had a quick Google to see if there is a handbook to download. It seems that the Starspirit may be an Autocruise not an Autotrail?

    May get more help if you can confirm and give the age.

    Good luck!

    In both our caravans and MH there has been an earth leakage trip breaker to reset. I don’t suppose it’s is absolutely necessary but I always trip before disconnecting, so this may have been done last time the van was used on Electric Hook Up. The breaker will be in a fuse box somewhere. The one in our current MH is in the bottom of the wardrobe.

    Alternatively, it might be the site post that needs the trip resetting. Or on some styles of Electric hook up post the plug needs to be turned until it clicks. That type have a small red button, alongside the plug, that you press to release when you disconnect.

    It will not do it a lot of good if it’s an electric one.😂
