Lighting feed comes from ? (1 Viewer)

[Alonsos]

noticed when not on EHU but control panel on I put on the main lighting switch i.e. Bring in all led ceiling lights the hab panel batt level stays full at the top
The vehicle batt level drops to 1/2 way
So main lights fed from vehicle battery ?
Does it perhaps take lighting feed from the batt with more charge in it ?

Not sure what exact electrics you have in your AT but in ours there's a button on the control panel that switches between leisure and vehicle batteries. Having said that believe system should automatically switch the charging of these a required when on EHU. Symbol on it looks like a couple of overlapping batteries with a curved arrow between them.

Are you sure you are not reading the battery opposite way around as that would then make sense..?
A lot would depend on what panel and system you have.. Assume you have an Autotrail but depending on year they have so many power supplies and control panels. Not common to run off vehicle battery, unless you have a fault and it's switching to that one as a backup ??

As stated above you can set the panel to take the 12v from the hab or vehicle battery, you can also set the preference for which battery charges first.

Can't switch to take from preferred batt only switch to see how much juice in vehicle or hab , Ime thinking it may have switched to eng batt as a backup.
Going to look with fluke meter today

I own up to this one
Hab IS feeding all lights not vehicle batt
I just happened to be looking at batt condition on control panel and playing with lighting
(With key in ignition) looking at sat nav routes and reverse camera for a good while prior to playing with control panel
So dragged eng battery down
Every thing now ok and I am a prize muppet well it's been a busy week ha
