Apologies, I appreciate I have asked a lot of questions, and these may be basic questions, but can you just confirm if these fuses have an impact on anything 12v related? Or are they merely for the supply coming in from the vehicle towing the van? Thanks again,

Battery fully disconnected and no 12v equipment working. Assume this is now an issue with the transformer/charger installed in the unit

Afternoon all, and thanks for your reply Prof John. I really am pretty confident there isn’t much dampness going on, but will take your points into consideration. I don’t think it outweighs any decision to continue using the van. The sockets are now all working. The MCB was dead. This has now...

Thank you Beachball

This is the first fuse I come to following the red line out of the leisure battery 16A. Anyone know where these are easily accessible to purchase if this is faulty when checked shortly? Will the Local caravan shop likely stock them or are they an online order? Thanks again all, your help is...

Yep you’ve got it. Shower, cupboard, sink and toilet. Doubt we’ll use the shower, but handy to hang wet clothes none the less. This time last week we didn’t know we were getting a caravan, so it has all happened quite quickly. Glad though, as it’s forced our hand in deciding what we should do...

Thank you. Am grateful for the support and shared knowledge. Tyres were replaced 3 years ago, and has been regularly towed and used. The family friend who gifted us the caravan were extremely house proud and it has been well maintained. He just didn’t want to shell out on repairing electrics...

Thanks for your suggestion. Is there a particular reason why, have you seen something from the photos? No obvious signs to me, and doesn’t feel or smell damp in there, but I may be missing something. Cheers

This are photos of current situation. Really happy with it despite the electrical issue, as picked it up for free. Usually a tent family, but so excited to start touring with my wife and young kids.

Thanks all My old man is a sparky of 50 years, so have the knowledge and skills to help. I just wanted to identify if there were any common faults or things to check, so I can let him know when he comes up today. I will reply with how it all goes. Cheers

Thanks for response. Will hunt for the 20A fuse tomorrow. Have previously checked the test on the RCD with lights on and it does trip instantly. Would the 20A fuse be the issue with just the 12v problems, or could it also be impacted the sockets not working in the van? Thanks, complete novice...

Hello All, Apologies if this particular question has been asked and answered in the past - I can see variations of it but not both issues combined. Recently (unexpectedly) acquired a Lunar Solar 462 1997 Caravan. It was on its way to the scrap man because of the issue I’m about to ask for help...
