Hi Peter

Not sure I entirely understand what your problem is:Blush: but the following might help.

When I had a problem a couple of years ago with the 12V system not working as it should (leisure battery not charging properly, fridge not working while on move) I went to a local caravan repair shop who said it sounded like a relay problem but they were unable to cure it immediately (having checked the battery and surrounding cables) and referred me back to dealer. As this was Barrons (and I had never got any help from them previously :Angry:) I decided to try and work it out for myself.

First step, check/tighten the connections on the leisure battery...PROBLEM SOLVED::bigsmile:.

Moral of the story - try the simplest solutions. It's amazing how often they work.

Good luck.
Phil

You say you get 12v in the mains position, are you hooked up when this happens?
