Elddis Avante (firestorm) 482 2001 main switches

[Fatboy]

hi my daughter has just picked up the above caravan.....the battery is attached and the small led is on green , the problem is i can not find a switch to turn the 12 v off, my ace has a switch to turn off the battery i cant find anything in this van. Surely this is not on all the time the battery is attatched ???? also cant find a 12v fuse box or any switches to turn off lights aux etc....it does have the 240 vault on the wall for the water and heating and gas for water or heating....but how can i turn off 12v when not in the van surely i dont have to disonect the battery
thanks

You can download user manuals from the internet. Here is for 2005 which might help.

Not an Eldiss but my van is a Fleetwood (Built by Adria) and I have no control panel at all, all I have is a switch for the water pump and the volt meter, think it is some kind of smart charger built in (perhaps the prof or someone more intellectual can tell us) and as long as every thing 12v is switched off I have never had a problem in over 5 years.

Just took this from the link WC supplied..explains it all

AUTOMATIC CHARGING SYSTEM
The battery charger will operate
automatically when the caravan is
connected to the mains outlet on a
caravan site. The 12V system, with the
exception of the 12V fridge and battery
charging, will not operate when the
caravan is connected to the towing
vehicle.
