Just found you - excellent video thank you. Just bought our first motorhome, pretty much zero knowledge and needing to learn as we go. This was very helpful and looking forward to learning from your videos. Thank you

Your vids are fantastic, thank you so much for sharining your knowledge If anyone is thinking of buying a motorhome, then this is the guy to buy from. Everything is tested and works. We had problems with our last 2 motorhome purchases because there were faults with the electrics / gas. Again, thanks Pete

Hi I have a Benimar Ducato based MHome with 2 x 80ah gel leisure batteries. With an inbuilt charging system, leisure and starter. My question is... Can I run a 500 watt inverter connect to the gel batteries and use it whilst driving? The Ducato has a 140 amp alternator. Many thanks in advance Tony

Fantastic video.... thanks for sharing. How can I check if my van is hooked up from the engine battery to the lesure battery. When I was in Greece two years ago I could switch the engine on and the leisure battery would charge right up. Now its not the same. I think the fuse may have gone. Any tips on tracing the leads to the fuse OR to establish if my engine battery is hooked up to the leisure battery? Sending you all a 'Motorhome' Christmas hug. :-)

we're taking an older model campervan to a music festival next week for 3 days where there will be no hook up power. How hard on the leisure battery will charging mobile phones be?

Dumb question as not an electrician - I have a 105ah lifos battery in my campervan following a complete discharge and powering it up the bms shows the battery at 13.2v which I believe is good but I don’t understand the state of charge figure if 11% - what does this actually mean soc?

@craigcrallan15 2 жыл бұрын

Great video, I've just followed your instruction and it seems that on main hook up there power to sockets but not charging the battery. voltage is showing 12.3 when mains is on and off, any ideas on this one?

Hey Motorhome Man! Just wanted to let you know your videos are incredible, can't begin to explain how much of lifesaver you've been! Just a wee quick question pal. If my motorhome is just sitting outside the house during the winter, how often would you plug in the battery to give it a charge? Thanks in advance! :)

Good but the latest Fiat engines(140hp ECO pack and above I think) have a smart alternator and won't charge the leisure battery anymore. You need to make sure there is a DC/DC charger booster to do that.

When plugging in the mains do you need to turn off the main supply switch inside then plug in lead and turn power on to supply the van with mains
