I have just purchased a Buccaneer Cruiser caravan which has a Truma 100w Solar Panel fitted. It also has a Phantom Tracker fitted. I have noticed that over the past week whilst the van has been parked in the pound with the master switch in the off position. I have lost power from 14.4 volts when I first parked it to 12.3 volts in exactly one week. The voltage readout I get from the Tracker app screen on my mobile phone. Should the Solar Panel continously charge my battery even if the van master switch is off? I notice there is a flashing light on the solar panel battery charger master box but am worried that I am getting no charge. ... Or is it that the Tracker is taking more power out than the solar panel can replenish? Can some one help please. Anyone or perhaps someone with the same van set up. Many thanks.
