No Power

    Hi All
    Hope someone can help. Headed off yesterday and when I got to the park found that there was no power to turn on either the lights or the water pump. The fridge was running fine when I turned it onto battery so power was getting through. Got home and decided to try the mains thinking that I would manage on that but still no joy. the little light shows that 220v is coming in and the fridge goes on but no lights or water. Did all the obvious and checked fuses and they are all alright. Does anyone have any ideas? or know of someone in the midlands (longford / westmeath) area. Was on the phone all morning trying to find someone to fix it as really wanted to head off today. All was working fine a few days ago.
    Cheers

    Your fridge runs on a different circuit than lights/pump, so it is not a good indicator for the rest of the system.

    check the following things:

    - make sure that the main 12V switch for the living compartment is on (if you have such a switch)

    - make sure that all fuses are ok (not the vehicle ones under the dashboard, or wherever they are, but any additional ones you may have in the back)

    If that doesn't solve your problem then I would suspect that your second battery/leisure battery is shot

    Your lights/pump dont' run off mains electricity. Mains only charges the leisure battery which then powers lights/pump. If the battery is completely cooked it will not charge either, hence no power to lights/pump.

    Try a different/ new second battery.


    EDIT
    the only motorhome workshopt (that I know off of the top off my head) that's near-ish to you is:

    But on a bank holiday weekend I wouldn't put my hopes for help too high

    Thanks a million for your help. Managed to get the problem fixed, turned out that one of the wires coming off the battery had disconnected. Was giving out about it to a neighbour who fixes electric stuff in planes and he came up and fixed me up in a flash (felt like a bit of a girl though trying to explain what had happened!) Anyway away with me now and hope the weather stays good as myself, baby, dog and husband are not the best combination on a wet day in a motorhome:D
