Hi,  Our electrics keep shorting when we try and use the leisure battery, they are fine on electric but as soon as we try the battery they short out.  We have a new battery so don't think that the problem.

Has anyone any ideas. Thanks in advance

Alaina22, I'm normally good with electrics, but when I fitted our battery, no light, no pump,and no wall sockets (12v) told my wife it wouldn't take long to fix, (clever me), out came my circit tester and "walla"after 3hrs, no light,no pump and no sockets, took it to a "sparky" 30min and a fiver, job done, something to do with the wiring that charges the battery when on the move. Jock

I'll tell my hubby that Jock, he also is normally quite good with electrics put can't seem to suss this one out, sound like we might as well call in the professionals from the start.
