- Swift Royale 540 (1995)
- Exp
- 4 yrs in total but not consecutively. Just bought the 3rd.
Drove home newly bought MH last night - 3/4 - 1 hrs drive and leisure battery is still completely flat. As I have owned an MH before, if I recall correctly this is not normal. I will of course stick the lead in today & see if it charges but does anyone know what the cause of this could be & how easily it can be fixed, if necessary.
BTW - It's a Bailey 760 & first impressions are - lovely, comfy van; lacking in garage style storage space (which we knew about & decided to compromise on); bigger than I thought & was extremely nervous driving it especially as there was a queue of traffic gathering behind me as I struggled to go over 40MPH (I felt rather carefree in the last one which was just .5 metre shorter) & lastly, it was really quite a noisy drive - lots of rattles which I will investigate further today - did find a loose pan in the oven & took oven shelf out when I stopped at a friends house, but there were still some rattles that will drive me insane if I don't get them managed. Either that or ear muffs will be required.
Thanks in advance for any advice on battery.
