Hi, hoping someone can help! We are fairly new to caravanning and have a Swift Ace Viceroy (2013). We have a power indicator panel above door inside van, showing if van is connected via mains and also leisure and vehicle battery levels. When the panel is first turned on, all lights come on initially, so we know all displays work. We can view leisure battery levels, but once our car is hooked up (its a 13 pin connection), we cannot get the vehicle battery levels to display at all, although I think we had got it to display at some point. Is this normal? Or could it be a fuse issue? We do know there is a connection, as all external indicators, lights etc then work on the caravan. We have also had the caravan serviced and the car connections checked, and we are told all is fine, but we are still puzzled!
Also, we have a thetford fridge in the van, and when plugged into the mains we can set the fridge to run off mains electric. However, once we connect to our car, the fridge won't stay on (power light flashes red) and won't let us select any power source at all, (the light displays just flash). We do pre-cool the fridge on mains and pack the freezer bit with ice blocks before we go, but again don't know if we are doing something wrong. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you! 😊
