My son has just bought a converted 2007 2.5 T5. The interior has clearly been done professionally. However I have a couple of queries regarding the electrics.
It's fitted with a PMS3V, and a 110AH leisure battery. It has a 60A VSR (which we plan to upgrade to a 140A with 110A associated cabling next week). The leisure battery charges OK from the alternator with the engine running but the fuse has a habit of blowing (hence the upgrade).
The PMS3V appears to have been connected (as far as we can tell) as per the wiring schematic I downloaded from the internet.
With no external mains connected the lights come on, but so does the fridge which I think is wrong (it's a silent-running fridge that I think draws much less current than a normal domestic fridge?). However it seems wrong to me.
Also, the battery condition meter on the PMS3 does not register when the 'van' position is selected. Everything seems OK when connected to mains on-site
Grateful for any thoughts.
