Hi

I have just bought our first caravan (Gobur Carousel Folding), it has not been used for a year but the battery had enough charge to use the fitted mover. I use a leisure battery on our coffee van and have an expensive smart charger: can I leave the battery on the caravan and charge it in situ or do I need to remove it?

Also, if the caravan is hooked up to the mains does the battery automatically charge?

Many thanks

Neil

The van should have an onboard power supply with built in battery charger.

Thanks a lot. Very impressed with the engineering - and comfortable as well. Really looking forward to our first trip out.
