Hi,
I have completed my refurbishment on an '88 Abbey Stafford and will be taking it on its first holiday in a couple of days. Being new to caravans (converted camper), there are a couple of things I need to check.

1) Whilst towing, do I need to switch the caravan panel to 'car battery' (I do have the grey connection) to keep the fridge working.

2) If the caravan is set to 'car battery' does this also charge the leisure battery whilst travelling?

Any help is always appreciated!

Rich.

having had a 85 elddis probably with a similar Zig panel? the caravan/car battery switch is for use on site if the van battery runs flat when there's no mains you can plug the car in and switch to that (if the cars 12s electronics allow it, some switch off below a set voltage via a voltage sensative relay)

So when towing it doesn't really matter, the van battery will charge and the fridge will cool the beer!!
