Hi All,
use to caravan a lot years ago, now have just bought a Talbot Badger Aututrail with a 2 litre peugeot petrol engine.
We have sussed out the heating, fridge, hot water etc but I have two things I haven't managed to figure out and need to know before we go on a trip.
We have no instructions on the water tanks.
question 1
how do you empty the clean and waste water tanks? We can't find any info on this and can't see any obviuos drain /emptying points. (I am worried about the water in the tanks freezing in the cold weather).
question 2
the leisure battery charges from the engines alternator.
when I plug in mains hook up and select "main" on electric control panel the battery does not appear to be charging, voltage just sits on about 12.5 volts.
if auxillary is selected on the control panel the voltage across leisure battery posts goes up to over 13 volts, (appears to be charging).
I have no instructions on this and would like to be charging leisure battery while on mains hook up, but don't want to fry it!
thanks to anyone who can help with this.
