We have a new (2019) Elddis Accordo 120 Majestic motorhome. It has a solar panel. I am concerned that it wont start after a long time on the drive. 
The Elddis and Peugot Handbooks are next to useless for a novice. I don’t know if the vehicle battery is charged when hooked up or if the solar panel charges the vehicle battery.

My wife is on the extremely vulnerable list so I have to self isolate too, which means I can’t give the motorhome a run to the shops.

Can anyone advise.

Take care and stay safe.cool

We had to go to an appointment yesterday, so went in motorhome. Fired up first time and trip was 60 miles so a good run. Had lunch and a cuppa before return journey, 😊 We hope we’ll be able to go on the trip we have booked in July.

Emailed Marquis and they told me solar panel doesn’t charge battery on   Elddis 120 Accordo Majestic outfit. I’ll discuss the options with Peugot before overwintering later this year. For now will give it a run out now and again.
Thanks again for your advice. 👍
