I was under the impression that when on mains hook up, only the leisure battery was charged up.

What a pleasant surprise this morning to find that it also charges the engine battery Very Happy

It varies depending on your van. Some do leisure only, some both, some you have to switch between leisure or engine.

If its set to Leisure battery only, then you can buy a Battery Master which will solve this problem, and if you have a Solar Panel it will allow charge to pass back to the starter as well.
