First trip out in our 5er and were back home after just one night, pitched up yesterday 1300 hrs only took 1/2 hour before we were having our lunch so quite pleased there.
Fannied around doing little bits and pieces, cooked tea, walked the dog, tea was lovely by the way Pork chops jacket spuds beans and peas, The genny had been on since 1600hrs till 1800 hrs, unplugged it and put the heater on, within 5 mins batteries were dead, couldn't run the genny after six so went to bed in the cold at 2000hrs. Woke up at 0100 hrs with some alarm going off (the white one below the sink maggie)
managed to reset it then back to sleep for an hour before it went off again, so out in the rain with just my pants, water proof jacket and trainers on to isolate the power from the batteries. woke up at 0800hrs cooked some brekkie,walked dog etc then at 1000hrs tried the genny again, burning smell and high pitched screaming coming from 45-amp converter, no 230v from sockets although there was 230v coming from the genny, no charge to batteries i even tried connecting the 12vdc from the genny straight to the batts but that just kept tripping, so off home we went, i even had to wind the front legs up manually. Guess were im off to on easter sunday, a nice trip to Niche Marketing for them to sort it out and i will pick it up on the 15th so i possibly wont get to Camarthen now because we will have a night or two near to Niche before coming away again
