Hi everyone (me again!). My sister's caravan (Early 90's-ish Abi Award Transtar) does not have a leisure battery in it. It will be connected via EHU and I assumed this would be enough but now I'm a bit more educated I now know that certain features run only from 12v electrics. I know the water pump does and I'm assuming other things do also. The question is. Do I need a leisure battery or is there some workaround like a voltage converter? If I did buy a leisure battery would my EHU charge it or would it be wise to buy a separate battery charger and keep that plugged in to it to regulate the charge automatically? I've got to have a look properly but I can even see where the leisure battery is supposed to be housed and connected. There's two bare wires that come from the water pump inlet though which I think at some point were connected to a leisure battery.
I'm also unsure of what works in the caravan so would like to test it out. I know there are differences between normal car batteries and leisure batteries but would a car battery be suitable for testing a few things?
Sorry for the mass of questions!
All the best,
Tom
