We have a 7 month old Pilote motorhome, it has Pilotes own Xperience tablet control for heating, lighting etc. We have a factory fitted solar panel and 140 ah leisure battery. We returned home from a break and a 180 mile run and the battery was showing 87% full. The van was left outside for two days in dull and rainy conditions. Over these two days the battery dropped to 37%, nothing had been left on ie lights, fridge etc. The weather was so dull I wouldn't have expected much input from the solar panel.
Spoke to the dealer who said the Xperience tablet, even though appearing to be off, uses power for it's memory. I can accept this but is this drain normal ?
I am concerned that when we are "off grid" camping or on winter rallies using battery power I'm going to have to drive around to charge the battery.
Any thoughts or solutions very welcome.
