Currently investigating hab. battery problem on my Bolero (Elecsol battery seems to have expired suddenly after only 11 months, but that's another story).
The mains distribution box on the Bolero has a separate switch for the battery charger. It stands a little proud in its cupboard (under the wardrobe). This might sound daft but you haven't, by stuffing something in the cupboard, inadvertantly switched it off have you......
Take a meter and two cheap chargers with you. Enough tools to make an electric extension to run the chargers or get one larger one run it in day and draw at night. You will overcome this.
Finally got my charger back - or more likely a new one. Returned to Davan on July 16th, so over two months wait for replacement. Installed it over the weekend & tried charging on hook-up over last night. All seems OK so far, just wondering how long this one will last.
Assuming the worst & it fails again, has anyone tried stripping one of the failed units to see exactly what is failing? As the 3 year warranty is due to expire shortly I might have to go down the repair route next time, if there is a next time that is.
According to the warranty claim authorisation form from MB&G, via Davan, the claim total is £261.60, including VAT. I don't know if that includes an amount from Davan for labour involved in fitting. It shouldn't as I removed the old one & fitted this one myself, so it's a flippin' expensive charger!
Reckon I could buy an all singing, all dancing charger for a lot less than that!
Good news is that the lack of a charger didn't spoil our break on the East coast, although the lamps did go out one night when I forgot to plug our Lidl charger back in after using the socket for something else.
All OK after plugging the charger back in though.
