Yep he is doing something wrong or you have a problem. Has he still got it connected to the car by any chance because if I remember correctly there was an issue with that when we had a Sterling Topaz. You had to disconnect from the car because there was a relay in the van that limited what could be drawn from the car battery so until you disconnected from the car not everything worked.

No because the 12 volt lights run direct from the battery anyway, there may be a switch on the control box that you have to put to van or car. and you may have some additional lights in the lounge area that run from mains, but not in the bathroom as these are always 12 volts I believe.
