Peugeot boxer 1997

[Barcode]

Hi all I have just got my first motor home , now I believe that the leisure battery won’t power the plugs sockets ? Don’t know how true ,all so the guy had the van before said he never renewed the battery and didn’t know how old it is so buying a new one ,what should the panel be switched to

LH switch controls the voltmeter, the picture shows front of van for the vehicle battery and rear of van for the leisure battery. Volt meter above, switch down to leisure battery. May also control charging when on EHU.

The middle switch is the water pump, turn only when you want water, in case a leak develops while you are not in the van.

The RH switch shows the two water tank quantity, difficult to see in your picture but looks like it shows a drinking glass, one crossed out. These will be your fresh water tank and your dirty ( grey) water tank. I imagine the crossed out one is for dirty water.

Let us know what van you have, someone may be able to give you a better answer.

Do you mean no power to the 12v sockets or to 240v sockets. Unlikely the 240v sockets will work unless on EHU as that would require an inverter to changec12vDC to 240vAC. Would have been expensive in 1997.

This switch selects both which battery gets charged by the onboard charger when on EHU (electric hook up) AND which battery powers your 12v circuits in the habitation area - lights, pumps, fridge and heating controller boards etc..... At least that's how my old 1999 MH worked.

Normal practice to leave it on Habitation (down) and if you are parked up for a week on EHU then flick to engine battery to give it a top up before you leave.

Welcome to the forum.

Your 240v (mains 3 pin sockets) will only work when you have plugged your van into mains electric.

You should have an orange lead with blue socket/plugs. One goes into the socket on the side of the van, one goes into the bollard on a campsite.

You can get a short adapter so that it can plug into a standard mains socket at home.
