Hello, I'm Pretty new here, new to caravanning and would appreciate some advice.
I have a 1991 Challenger and it has developed a problem with the electrics, I am pretty handy but don't really know where to start trying to find the problem.
The problem is as follows -
When I hook up to the mains on site/at home one of the 2 fuses (the one on the right) in the KT12 charger unit keeps blowing. It was fitted with a 10a fuse, I have replaced the fuse with another 10a one but it blows instantly. The electrics are otherwise working fine, the mains (fridge, water heater & 240v sockets) all working fine and do not trip out, the 12v lights & water pump work ok off the battery. One thing I have noticed is that if I replace the fuse with one of 15a it doesn't blow and seems to work ok again, BUT as the KT12 is only rated to 12a I don't see this as a safe/viable solution.
If anyone has any ideas what might be causing this problem it would be greatly appreciated, especially if it is something simple, before I call out the (expensive) experts. Thanks Jody
