2.3.2 Electricity
Supply diagram
The power supply is made up of a 230V AC part and a 12V DC part.
230V supply
Connecting to the mains supply allows you to:
• recharge the house battery
• use power outlets
• run the refrigerator on 230V
• operate the heating system if your vehicle is fitted
with a 230V heating system
12V supply
The campervan’s 12V supply comes from two batteries:
The engine battery and the house battery. The engine battery powers all electrical equipment in the vehicle section. The house
battery powers the electrical appliances in the living quarters. It is located in the garage space. This is a «semi-stationary» type
of battery. Under no circumstances may it be replaced by a vehicle start-up battery. For any replacement, please contact your
dealer. The two batteries are separated by a coupling device which charges using the alternator or recharges using the automatic
battery charger (230V supply). The charger for the power pack provides an additional charge to the engine battery to offset low
consumption when running a car radio, for example. Under no circumstances will this operation completely recharge a depleted
battery.
Never carry out or allow modifications to electrical appliances or systems, unless performed by approved fitters.
A cable reel must be completely unwound to prevent the electric power supply cable from overheating.
Incorrect assembly of the electrical and electronic accessories may seriously damage the campervan and void
the warranty.
