Hi,
I'm brand new to the hobby and just bought a motorhome. I'm picking it up next weekend, yes, in just as we're heading into winter! I live in London, so have found a CASSOA site to store it, so my first trip will be from the showroom to the site, spend a couple of nights at the site and then leave it there.
What I'm wondering though is what happens to the batteries if it's left in storage for a couple of months or so? It has two leisure batteries and a 125w solar panel and I guess the solar panel will trickle charge the batteries but is there enough light in the UK over winter to stop them draining too much? And what about the engine battery?
What do other people do in this situation? Take the batteries out and home with them?
I'm very excited about all of this.
Thanks
Graham
