Morning timmo69uk, You can use the battery fitted in your caravan, 110amp battery would be better, I had one many yrs ago, I just fitted clamp-on battery terminals on the mover cables, and moved the caravan then disconnect when finished caravan manoeuvre.

Powrtouch say an 85aH is fine for their Model 3, so for yours it would be fine. A 110aH would be better, regardless of whether you have a mover, but an 85aH is fine for most people even with a mover. If you do a lot of rallying then you might need a second battery or a bigger battery. Personally I use 2 85aH batteries and swap them over if one goes flat but I hardly ever use EHU. With a TV and satellite absolutely killing the battery I get 24 hours from an 85 aH battery, but can easily get a long weekend if I use my solar panel and sensible use of power.
