Being very new to caravaning (bought my very first used Elddis 12 days ago.)

My problem is the battery won't hold the charge, the van is on a site storage all year.but when in use I will allways have a electric hook up

Now my question is what AH battery do I need? bearing in mind having had a look around at sizes and prices What I want is the lowest AH I can get away with.

In antisipation.   Michael.

Thanks Tango55.

The caravan has a onboard charger,but I don't know what runs 12 volt via the battery and what dosen't when connected to a hook-up?

You say the battery won't hold charge. Is it a sealed battery, if it's not sealed have you checked the levels.

I once had a battery that wouldn'd hold charge and then found out all I needed to do was top up with distilled water.
