Hi new here and to Motorhomes ..need some help on Controls

[EwoKIE]

Ok thanks if you took the time to click my question
As you may see or tell I am new to motorhomes and just recently purchased this:

Fiat Ducato 1.9 TD (1994) L Registration (LHD)

Have uploaded pictures to what I need help on please.

The main Battery under the bonnet –
Theres a blue wire coming off and seems to go where the Leisure battery is but goes up inside

At the Leisure battery theres a Red wire that comes down and goes to the battery

Both these batteries have a 30 Amp fuse fitted

As far as I know theres 2 batteries / Gas bottle / and mains attachment on the side

What I need to know is how to operate the controls and the pipe switches in the cupboard which are just below the sink and next to the fridge

Also the pictures I have shown does the leisure battery get charged in any way or do I need to charge it when needed

Thanks in advance if you could tell me what all these do as I didnt recieve a manual and dont want to blow myself up

This sort of leads back to “twinwebers” thread about using wrong colours on wiring.I would check the system very carefully. HOWEVER, If that system has served the vehicle well before may be OK.
Might be well asking the previous owner on how to operate the various bits and pieces incase of any anomalies.
