When have you noticed that the battery is drained. Is it when you go to use the mover after the van has been in storage or not connected to the mains for a while. If so it could be a lack of an isolation switch which allows the battery to drain. If you have never had to use the isolation switch you don't have one. If on the other hand you get home from a long journey and there is no power in the battery you likely have a fault in thecharging system from your car. My final option is that the battery is dead and needs replacing!

The mover switches itself off anyway so I would suspect that you have faulty battery/charging system

I have been using movers on 3 caravans for 6 years with no mover isolating switch although I do have 12V isolating switches in +ve and -ve should they be needed

My master switch is just below the socket for my mains hook up and you couldn't possibly miss it, so I pressume that yours isn't there.

I had a similar problem with mine once and it turned out to be me not turning the caravans 12v master switch off after a trip out which in turn allowed the Status ariels amplifier to drain the battery over time to the point where there was not enough juice for the mover which switched itself off as it's supposed to do. 

Carver did not fit isolator switches and mine has not had one for 6 years with no problems.

To qualify that I am able to have the van battery on charge most of the time.

We had a truma fitted when we brought our van in July and we don't have an isolation switch either the same as Vic ours automatically switches off if not used for so many seconds and we have never had any problems.

We had a Truma Mover which we have now upgraded to a Rhyno. The Truma had no isolator  ( althought the Rhyno does) but never gave us any battery problems.

We have a Carver from 1998, ours has a special switch with a special key you insert to be able to operate it, I suppose you could call this an isolation switch.

Our switch and connection for the controller is all conveniently situated in the front locker.   ours is not remote but hard wired.

We never thought to ask where everything would be, our dealer just seems to have put it all in the most sensible place!!

They are, in our opinion. very good dealers.
