On my 2005 Autosleeper Nuevo 2005 model, there is a switch above the fridge next to the ariel socket, which when switched on overides the 20 minute cut out. I have to remember to switch it off when not in use so as not to drain the battery. Chasper.


I would have thought the on/off switch on the radio would do the same thing? On my last van I fitted a Battery Master. At least when on hook up there was never a danger of flattening the engine battery and it also kept the engine battery in better condition.

The on/off switch leaves the radio in some kind of shut down mode. If you go into the vehicle when it is dark you can see a background light glowing. I don't know what the current drain is but I do know from experience that the vehicle battery will be flat in 2 weeks. I think this system was unique to AS and it did work well to overcome the 20 min caper, but turning the switch off (they called it a radio isolation switch) is essential when in store. This was only fitted to pre X250 vehicles of course.

I forgot to say i have a 130w solar panel and a battery master. I still like to switch off any unnecessary electrical equipment.
