Enjoy your Chic when you get it.
Ours is almost identical to @Robert Clark and the batteries have been fine.
Like Robert we have 200w of solar but have kept to the original two gel leisure batteries.
After years of worrying about battery level, both on caravans and latterly on two new motorhomes, we don't need to constantly check the control panel to make sure they are OK.
We rarely use sites with hookup and never run low on power.

Oh, the Fiat auto box is a joy, particularly if you drive a lot in France with all those pesky roundabouts.

Richard.

Thank for that Richard.
We are trying not to think about 'her' too much as we are getting giddy and we have 10 days to pick up day lol

Just looked at your profile picture, I LOVE the big beastie behind you?!
It does look similar -we have the model with the island bed. Fed up of making beds up sleeping on 'couch' seating as in our Bessie!

I'm sure I'll be posting some pics when we get her. We are going to go to the Southport rally as our first 'outing'.

We love that 'big beastie' too. Just spent 8 years working with the Vulcan team at air shows all over the UK. Our Carthago was known as the Vulcan NAAFI van.
We too have the island bed and have to say it is super comfortable.
Hope your purchase goes well and I'm sure you will love your van.

Richard.
