Not even a glimmer of light on internal lights? Maybe your master switch has tripped itself off - will be situated next to the leisure batteries or main trip circuit breakers on your distribution board 12v. ? Look for any circuit breakers tripped off?

Cheers just going back in to have a look around It's plugged in to mains but it's not charging batteries

 

[2bob]

have you switch to leisure on control panel

 

[Fitzy]

There doesn't seem to be an option it's a burstner elegance

Sorry to be a bit vague we are new to this

Is there anything to confirm that the EHU is connected and live? Can you run a mains device from a socket?
If not, maybe the trip has switched it off and you'll need to discover why.

 

[Fitzy]

The EHU is connected and the indicator light is lit the sockets are not working the trip switch is on the red volt meter is flashing red

hopefully it will be very obvious when found, but most likely as said above where the incoming mains is will be breakers / trips, check there first

When was it last OK? whats happened since?

 

[Podney]

Are you at home or on a site? Are you sure there is power in the EHU?

When that happened to our van it was a 20 amp fuse. It blew because the batteries were completly flat and when I plugged in it surged and blew the fuse. Replaced it and all was well..

try that.

I think the Burstner range use the same Reich controller we have, try switching it off and back on again, once you have found it might be outside locker, but will probably look like this

the switch on ours is bottom left, I have had to reset mine a couple of times

but this wouldn't really explain why you have no power at sockets, I still think something is tripped on the incoming mains

 

[Fitzy]

Thanks for all your help will have another look tomorrow

I'm not familiar with your van but it would seem that a miniature circuit breaker has tripped to stop your mains sockets from working. The MCB should be alongside the main trip switch (RCD breaker). All switches should be 'up' ('on').
It would be interesting to know if there is any life from your fridge. (Probably not, because your your batteries have insufficient charge to power the control circuits.)
If you are correct about your habitation batteries being flat, their reduced voltage will prevent any 12V circuits from switching on (the control panel is trying to prevent irreparable damage).
Can you find the charger? It may be that a surge has stopped it from charging. There could be a reset button or it may need a fuse replaced. It may have an indicator light if it's working (but it seems, to me, that it's probably not).
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Good luck with finding the cause,
You can always ring Sargeant UK or visit their website (assuming your control panel is a Sargent one ? )
Let us all know the outcome please.

Thanks for all your help will have another look tomorrow

did you sort it?

 

[Fitzy]

No been working away so I'm going to try and sort it tomorrow will let u know cheers

I do hope you make good progress. There are several of us rooting for you.

 

[Freespirit1]

Well - one or two maybe but it doesn't look like it's a very urgent matter eh! as perhaps I thought originally

 

[Fitzy]

Well yes it is I'm going away next wed unfortunately been working away so will be spending tomorrow on it I assume you thought I was on a site

Yep - I did and possibly others - am sure you'll get it sorted with plenty of time now
