I bought a brand new swift challenger(my first ever caravan) last May and put it in storage over winter thinking the solar panel would maintain the battery charge. But when I visited it last week there was no power so the alarm and control panel (or anything else) didn’t work. I’ve checked all the fuses/trips etc and they seem ok. So I checked battery charge and found it’s only 3.8 volts!
the caravan has an alarm and tracker so I’m wondering if they’ve drained the battery.
any advice you can give would be most welcome especially about is the battery now capable of being recharged/if not is it covered by the warranty/can I do anything to prevent this happening every winter?
