Hi new to caravanning and have just left my first van (swift Oakmere GT) in the storage place last night, i have a quick question should i have disconnected the battery and if not where should i have left the rocker switch (Van / middle/ car)
Just to throw some doubt into the discussion, from other threads I've read expert people have advocated that leisure batteries differ in construction technology from car batteries and need regular top up charging to maintain battery condition and longevity.
If 'over wintering' is 5 months maybe a techy out there could clarify if top up charging is really necessary.
Regardless of the type of battery you have it needs to be charged at least once a month. If in storage and getting little use, take it home, keep it warm and charge it once a month. Save you having to buy a new one next season.
