- as for wild camping we havent done it yet. I am a little dubious because I dont understand the usage of the leisure battery. All our items kettle etc are household items. Can we use them on the leisure battery without draining it fully or blowing it up!! (if thats possible). Also there was a thread on here about blown air heating and the battery and it was a little confusing as to whether it drained it or not. Confusing or what :Confused:

Not that I understand it but I am sure the more times we read it the more it should sink in

I presume if we did flatten the leisure battery it we would still be able to be driven home? Then presumably we would put the van on hook up untill it was charged again?
Best book a site eh!!!
Consider the leisure battery as a very valuable limited resource .. If wilding, rule of thumb... don't use ANYTHING that can otherwise be done with gas..
To use any household 230v item you would need either an inverter, a big battery bank and solar panels to match .. or a genny ..
The heating fan will use 12v power .. but depending on the size of your battery should last a few days if run sparingly.
If you want to use 230v a small genny is the best option.. but it must be man enough to handle whatever you plan to use.. if only to charge then 1kw is man enough..
[HI]Unfortunately they don't make a gas TV .[/HI]. so if not already bought, consider the smallest you can comfortably watch and best if 12v rather than using a 230v set with an inverter.

Hi Terry,
Our fridge is a three way fridge so I can run it on gas. I dare say we can boil water in a pan for a drink and to wash any dishes. If we dont pay site fees then we can eat out more!!!
Dont know if we have a single/twin relay. It is an IH conversion so maybe I will have to ask them. [HI]Whats a genny then?[/HI]

Hi Chris,IH make nice vans and more than likely will have twin relay on it :thumb:you You can check by switching the fridge onto 12v then starting the engine -green light should come on- :thumb: and by putting a multi meter on the L/B (leisure battery) take a reading (12.8 v ish)then start engine again and it should read nearer 14 v :thumb:---buy a gas kettle EDIT forgot to say your water heater will probably work on gas
