No 12 volt power in caravan.
We have an Abbey Vogue 2 - 460 2009.
Whilst on holiday, the 12 v system wouldn't work unless hooked to the mains. We put this down to a duff battery and purchased a new one.
However, the 12 v system still won't work. We have checked the in line fuse with a multi meter and that's fine.
Any help or advice would be gratefully received as we are supposed to be going away this week but without the motor mover working it will make life hard!

1} connect the m-meter across the battery terminals
2} check the voltage of the battery
3} watching the still connected meter have the mains connected
4} the battery voltage should rise sufficient to indicate if its receiving a charge & thus is in circuit
5} if not you have a disconnection between the battery and the 12 volt power cct
6} DISCONNECT THE MAINS & THE BATTERY !!
6} now carefully check all switches & wiring connections
7} Pray a lot whilst doing these checks 'cos its Sunday & also your time is much cheaper than an electricians

Are you saying that nothing on 12volts is working?
A motor mover is normally wired directly to the unit with its own fuse and does not pass though the caravan 12 volt system.
You say you have a multimeter to check the fuse - have you checked to voltage leaving the battery?
If you have only checked the fuse it may be a duff battery or a bad connection on the battery terminals.
