Flat Battery

[PaulW]

ok so I may be being thick but some advise please

Was in France a couple of weeks ago off grid so relied onnthe Leisure Battery after about 4 days the main van Battery was dead

So did this happen as I made a couple of short trips and the leisure battery robbed the charge as I had been using the main battery to charge my phone niw and again

Also is their a way of getting the main power to charge my laptop when not on mains I used to do this on an invertor in a tent surely a 64 k camper can do this

Back off to France this week so on edge of flattening tge Battery again

Thanks

Cab lights need to be switched off as they run off the engine battery. If you have the electric sliding door, likewise. Repeated use of the radio as it takes significant power as it is basically a mini computer. Also, why don't you charge from the leisure 12v sockets or the 240v inverter socket on the B pillar presuming you have a SE or Ocean.

You have a 240v socket powered by an inverter at the base of the B pillar behind the passenger seat. Not the kitchen unit 240v socket.
