12 V power supply
The motorhome's 12 V power supply comes from two batteries: the engine battery and the leisure battery. The engine battery powers all electrical
equipment in the vehicle section.
The leisure battery powers the electrical appliances in the living quarters. It is located in the electrical service compartment which can be accessed
from outside. This battery is of the 'semi-stationary' type. Under no circumstances may it be replaced by a vehicle starter battery. You must contact
your dealer when replacing the leisure battery. The two batteries are separated by a split-charge system which takes care of charging either via the
alternator (running engine) or the charger module (motorhome connected to external 230 V supply).
Solar panel
The solar panels are connected through a regulator built into the PWM-type power unit. If solar panels are added (>200W), a second regulator is
installed in the front kitchen hatch on Fiat and in the electrical cabinet on Mercedes.
Additional information
Solar panels often do not provide adequate additional charge when several electric appliances are used simultaneously at night.
Solar panels must be regularly cleaned to maintain their efficiency.
230 V generator outside the vehicle
When using a generator, consult your dealer on how to install it and ensure you perform these steps in the right order:
·
First start the generator,
·
Connect the 230 V cable to the motorhome.
Warning, risk of property damage
A generator connected to the motorhome's 230 V system must be perfectly calibrated (risk of damage to the internal charger).
