Hi all. I have to agree with SPJ the panel does not enhance the van but it does impress visitors!! I also tend to use a spirit level as well, perhaps that is just normal custom and practice over 30 years caravanning and I just need to get used to it. I am glad to see that spj has the same odd read out on the battery discharge as I do. I couldn't work it out and just felt that as I didn't have any electrical problems, because I always use mains, then I wouldn't worry about it!!
I had a problem with the manual catch on the fridge but my dealer fixed it, I think he bent the pin and it fitted.
As a matter of interest have all of you actually checked your solar panel. Because the panel should not be exposed to sunlight without a battery fitted the factory fit it with a sticky black cover. My dealer did not remove the cover when he fitted the battery and until I climbed a ladder I was not aware of that fact.
Sorry to see that the 2008 model still has a poor fitting gas locker box which in the recent torrential rain leaked like a sieve and soaked everything inside, with ove an inch of water. Has anyone found a solution to the problem other than moving to the Sahara!
