Thanks nawer, I looked on the web at them when Steve suggested it but there were so many different ones and it is all so technical (and we certainly are not) we sort of gave up on it.  The Maplin one does look a bit more simple.

Thanks Dave101.  The dealer who recently serviced the caravan and fitted the mover said that it would be nothing to do with the fitting of the mover or the control box.  We have had the battery thoroughly tested at proper battery suppliers and it is fine.  They did say that for a motor mover we should have the bigger batttery which we think we will have to do.  Tried to find Lunar web page to ask the service team there what they felt it could be but all you get is a web page that just gives you all the names of the dealers, so no farther forward there.  Message posts on Lunar forums seem to suggest that Lunar is not a good manufacturer for after sales service.

Going to France soon and will be using the mover fairly often but will just have to chance it and hope for the best.  Buying the bigger battery may help.

Thanks for interest and help received.

Cheers

We've had our van serviced now. I charged the 110amp battery in my garage for over two days before fitting it back on the van. I didn't use the mover to get the van off the drive & I took the van to the dealers.

I told them I was concerned about the battery & when I colected the van, they told me it had shown no faults. The mover control box had shown faulty & been replaced but the battery was fine.

Yesterday when we were putting some kit in the van ready for next weekend, I witched the panel on & the battery has gone down to 12 volts again. This is in less than two weeks.

When I connected the negative terminal, it did make a noise as contact was made. Everything in the van was switched off but this is still indicating a draw. The dealers told me this is normal because the system needs to power up, is this correct please??

Turn off the aerial boosting box, and you battery will last. Its not your mover.

Turn it on again when you get on site.
