    Your vids are fantastic, thank you so much for sharining your knowledge
    If anyone is thinking of buying a motorhome, then this is the guy to buy from. Everything is tested and works. We had problems with our last 2 motorhome purchases because there were faults with the electrics / gas.
    Again, thanks

    Good but the latest Fiat engines(140hp ECO pack and above I think) have a smart alternator and won't charge the leisure battery anymore. You need to make sure there is a DC/DC charger booster to do that.

    Dumb question as not an electrician - I have a 105ah lifos battery in my campervan following a complete discharge and powering it up the bms shows the battery at 13.2v which I believe is good but I don’t understand the state of charge figure if 11% - what does this actually mean soc?

    Hi I have a Benimar Ducato based MHome with 2 x 80ah gel leisure batteries. With an inbuilt charging system, leisure and starter. My question is... Can I run a 500 watt inverter connect to the gel batteries and use it whilst driving? The Ducato has a 140 amp alternator. Many thanks in advance Tony

    Fantastic video.... thanks for sharing. How can I check if my van is hooked up from the engine battery to the lesure battery. When I was in Greece two years ago I could switch the engine on and the leisure battery would charge right up. Now its not the same. I think the fuse may have gone. Any tips on tracing the leads to the fuse OR to establish if my engine battery is hooked up to the leisure battery? Sending you all a 'Motorhome' Christmas hug. :-)

    Hey Motorhome Man! Just wanted to let you know your videos are incredible, can't begin to explain how much of lifesaver you've been! Just a wee quick question pal. If my motorhome is just sitting outside the house during the winter, how often would you plug in the battery to give it a charge? Thanks in advance! :)
