Hi all,
We have just bought out first caravan and all home safely.
Just trying everything out but notice the 3 pin sockets only work with the electric hook up but not on the leisure battery, is this right, or are we missing something? Any help will be gratefully received.
Many thanks
Andy

There's always lots of help on here, as said we were all new to this at one point or other and remember the only silly question is the one you don't ask.
You can also ask anyone on site for help, I know I have and people have always helped. Club sites have the advantage that the wardens have been caravaners or MHers long enough to also help you out if you're stuck on many things like this.

Handovers are useful, but, as others have said, most things you forget. In my case, it just goes in one ear and out of the other!! 🙂 In fact, so much so, I know I'm not going to remember, so tend not to worry too much about listening. The handbook has most of the information anyway.... and once you have seen one caravan, most 'skills' are adaptable!! 😀😀 After saying that, after 'x' number of years, there's always something new to learn.... or some vital piece of equipment to buy, which you never thought you could manage without.... 🤣🤣

we have an inverter where we can plug into the ehu, then we can run low power things like
camera battery charging, handheld dyson and my rechargeable shaver from the leisure battery

they can be linked with electronic devices but currently beyond the OP understanding I'd imagine.
but can also give good advise
