if you don’t have a
if you don’t have a multimeter then get one its going to be really useful figuring out whats going on with electrics.
in this case, hook the multimeter to read the voltage of the leisure battery. now start the van. if the meter is reading 13 volt or above then charge is been pushed to it. now flip the switch, if the voltage drops to 12v(ish) and below (or visa versa) then that switch controls the split charge. if nothing happens then either that switch controls some thing else, or its broken.as for how the swapping about goes. most systems be they simple relays or posh multi step chargers the swap is automatic. If the engine is running then then the leisure battery is charging, turn it off and the leisure battery is isolated from the vehicle starter battery to you can’t flatten your means of getting home. some people add a switch inline with the wire that signals the relay to close (not the main feed between the batteries) so they can have more control over the charging and prevent the leisure battery been charged if it is know to already be full.

stick me down on that list as well. I’ve always enjoyed forum meets and have a few passport stamps to back it up. Between cars, computers, kites and general mayhem type forums i’ve clocked up a fair few miles and met loads of brilliant people.

I hate to say it andy but its looking like in might be off. between suz’s family tragedy and wanders disappearance we’re getting a bit short on enough people to make a meet. On the plus side i got my new pump fitted this evening and gave it a good blasting up and down the hill heading out of leeds with out issue so hopefully my gremlins are looking dead. going to chance using it to do some running about for work tomorrow just to help convince my self that its fixed.
I do think at this late date we’re going to struggle to find any where that will let us in, my stealth van is going to be tricky enough to find a site that will have it as it is. i recon we re-organise for a date when we can get a bit more of a crowd.
If wanderer does suddenly resurface tomorrow with a site that will have us and my van plays nice through the day then i’ll pack up my gear and head over.lazarusParticipantI hate to say it andy but its
