Just used the van over the weekend,(well the wife did with the kids) with no hook up. On Saturday night the 12v lights began to fade and she then had to be very conservative with the electric. Now I was there on the Friday night and I know we had quite a few of the spotlights on (I think they are all 10 watt, and by the way I think the lighting on the Pageant Series 5's is p**s poor!!) for a good few hours plus one left on overnight to keep the children happy, even so I thought the battery would have had enough charge to cope with a weekend as she had been on a site with hook-up for the 5 days beforehand. The battery is a relatively new 75 amp. I know it wouldn't have been fully charged by the on-board charger but still thought it should of coped.

Anyway.. whilst playing around with the main switches I noticed that just by switching on the main 12v light switch on the control panel there is a voltage drop of approx. 0.3 volts. Should this happen without any lights on or have I got a problem somewhere?
