hi, don't know if I'm on the right site for tech problems as I am a new member, but I'm sure someone will tell me if I am not.

anyway, the problem I've got is my hymer b578 starter battery goes flat after a few days.it's a new battery but something seems to be dragging it down,I've switched off the living battery's on the transformer and made sure pioneer radio is off, although it's not connected via ignition circuit. Any help appreciated.

thanks Phil hr

hitch, youre right....there have even been posts bemoaning the fact that the radio turns off after 15mins.....probably didnt realise these things had such a massive draw.....when away from EHU we use a separate radio which has a rechargable battery.

on our Bolero, the radio (by choice) was wired to the leisure batteries.

just read the issue with flat starter battery's. I have a Carthago with a Pioneer head unit and suffer the same problem. Seems Carthago had a fix for this for 2018 vans, does anyone know what it was?
