240v AC not working.

Hi folks.

Travels are never without their issues. Here's my latest.

Having successfully camped at a number of sites for the last 8 days, all on hook up. We arrived at the latest park up, tried to plug in, no juice. Tried the spare cable, no juice. Phoned the warden who came up within ten minutes. He tested the hook up point, power present. Tried his cable on our van, no juice. I checked the trip in the gas cupboard, not tripped out, still no juice.....

Is there another trip/fuse that I can check?

Fortunately there's a caravan repair specialist next door to where we're camping so I might pop over tomorrow to see if they can test it. Otherwise we'll survive using the Ecoflow.

But any thoughts folks? Thanks as always.

So there is power to campsite socket and you have used 3 different cables, so that probably rules out a faulty cable.
The RCD circuit breaker is showing RED, not green as that is the Off position.
When you say No Power, is that at the Mains socket on the kitchen unit or Battery charger for the Leisure batteries?

I didn't test the socket but the indicator on the camping control panel display was not illuminated. Weirdly, two hours later, it is now.

Can't think what was/is going on, but as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it... and at the moment it ain't broke.

Thanks anyway for your input.

I would suggest checking the kettle type mains plug for the Leisure Battery Charger as they are known to come loose.
Base of rear wardrobe in boot. Remove access door to rear Leisure Battery.
The mains charger is situated above the battery and the mains plug, like the plug on an electric kettle , is on the L side. Make sure it is firmly pushed into its socket.

Hi thanks for your info but just looked at plug and it’s not lose so I’m going to try VW because it going in soon for some warranty work and I will keep everyone informed

I had a similar issue on a campsite in Slovenia. Tried a couple of cables but no joy. Nothing wrong with the van per se as it worked at a different site. Loz have you tried an alternative power source hookup?

Another thing I've noticed is that the Delta 2 won't fully charge the leisure batteries. Put it on mains and no issues.
