We have a swift major 4 eb 2020 and want to know how to use the 12 volt system in storage as if you have a power cut it should come into action
We don't 240 in our storage
My main question where is the location of the 12v switch as we have tried under seat on the power control system
We have never been shown how to activate this any information would be appreciated
We had a Swift alpine 4 2014 before and it was the same didn't know how to use the 12 volt system
HiThanks we have have the manual will have a look we are relatively new at caravanning as we bought the van the day of the 1st lockdown and we only had our other van 3 years and never used the 12 volt system
So I think we may have an issue as when we push the isolator switch and nothing comes on
Thank you for your help
Before returning the battery and connecting , do you have anyone who could check it’s no load volts or have you been charging it at home?We are going to have a look and put the battery back in to check the suggestions will let you know how we get on
Thanks
It may or may not come as surprise but when we say a battery is 12V it rarely is at exactly 12V. For example a battery charger needs to produce about 13.8V to 14.5V to be able to charge the battery and when the charger is removed a good battery should settle to show a voltage of between 12.6 to 12.8V.Trickle charge at home volt meter says 12.4
Have you checked if the battery fuse is intact if you reconnect battery the wrong way (+ve to negative and -ve to positive this will cause the fuse to blow(rupture).We have tried the button you referred to but nothing happens
Not sure if if it makes any difference that we have a swift command centre
Thanks
We have had someone look at it
It seems that there is no 12v coming into the van
So it will have to go back to the dealership when they open
Thanks so much for the the advise
We have had someone look at it
Hi
Don't understand "you have never used the 12V system",some equipment needs 12V to operate.
1.Blown air fan
2,The fridge
What makes you think nothing happens ?
Maybe you've never tried them either.
If you have any 12 V lights switch them on (they shouldn't illuminate) then try the pushbutton,If they come on then the pushbutton( and the 12V) is working OK.
As it is brand new last year and only used it 3 times due to Sheilding and lock down
