Is the black master switch off on the panel under the seat on the battery box? Or the charger swith off on the same panel?

When I got my van back from service I had the same scenario ... turns out the service guys had left all these things switched off. Mine is a year old Swift.

After talking to a very abrupt lady at Alde,I contacted Lowdham caravans who very kindly said bring it down,they discovered the problem 2 number 3.5 fuses on the top of the boiler under a black plastic cover,the boiler is a 3010 compact and the fuses are in green fittings,So no thanks to Alde who just kept repeating it must be the battery,no mention of these fuses even though I kept telling her the battery was reading 13.7v,but many thanks to Lowdham for being so helpful
