I have had a 2008 Adria Coral 660 for a few months now and it seems to me that there is a problem with the wiring, but the dealer I bought it from says not.
When I am driving I switch the fridge onto 12v and it works, as normal, through the relay. When I switch off the engine it stops working via the relay but appears to continue to work off the habitation battery. The result is that if I stop for a break or for the night and forget to change it to gas the habitation battery very quickly discharges.
Since this is my first motorhome I do not know if this is normal. Many years ago when I had a caravan it worked differently in that when I switched off the engine the fridge switched off and did not use the leisure battery at all. I would rather have a warm fridge than a dead battery.
The dealer tells me that this behaviour is normal for a continental motorhome. Can anybody tell me if that is that correct please??
