I have a 2015 Lunar "Chilgrove" ( based on Quasar) With everything switched off my fully charged 90ah  battery completely discharges in 9-10 days. (New Banner battery) , dealer says OK for modern vans, mainly caused by drain by alarm, poss radio and 12v PCB on fridge even though everything ( except alarm) is switched off, I find it odd that this could happen. Second query,  with all 12v switched on and light switch on control panel above door  "On" all lights work, with panel light switch "Off", except for two ceiling lights,  all lights are still on, therefore the main switch only operates two ceiling lights. My dealer couldn't advise. Lunar do not answer my emails. If any Quasar owners  could advise I'd be most appreciative.

The control box under the bed has a black button this should be in the OFF position except when 12V is required including towing. Only the alarm is active when the black button is off.

It's difficult to tell if the black button is on or off. I double check by seeing if the TV aerial pre-amp has any lights on it in the wardrobe.

As long as you have the master switch off you should have no problem assuming the wiring is the same as ours.

Have a similar issue with our 2016 Clubman, just had the van and battery checked by the dealer, who say everything is okay. Suffered a 1v drop between leaving the house and delivery of the van at the dealers.

The dealers advice was to switch the electrics off at the PSU, this is not practicable as the fridge will be off when travelling for holiday.

You should be able to turn the PSU on before travelling and the car should keep the fridge going and keep the battery topped up.

The fridge on my (older) Lunar is powered from the car irrespective of what is switched elsewhere

Have just bought a Lunar Cosmos 2017 and I have the same problem with lights. Only the two ceiling lights switch off at the control panel. Individual spotlights have their own switches but the under locker LEDs, the skylight spots and  the two wall lights wont switch off unless you switch off the control panel. Spoke to Lunar and they said I should talk to the dealer. Spoke to the dealer who said they should be on a dimmer switch, but they are definitely not. He is contacting Lunar to find out if we are both missing something

Have located the secret buttons that control the lighting in the Quasar. Sitting on the doorside seat look up to your right, towards the door. There is a spotlight. Behind the spotlight there are two small switches that control the under locker LEDs and the skylight downlighters, and the two wall lights. Problem solved. Why not make it clear in the handbook which was of no help whatsoever !
