I have uploaded a load of photos to this blog : www.caravanhelpme.tumblr.com
Each question has a photo to show what I'm talking about with a corresponding number.
Lots of questions as we don't have a clue about caravans! We bought this cheap (really cheap!) as a little project to do up and take the kids camping in! It's just a bit of fun really but we need to know what's what. 
Looking around it we are just clueless!! 
Any help would be much appreciated!
 
 

1 - the back window has condensation so it's obviously not all sealed properly, is there an easy way to take it apart and re-seal? If not we're not too bothered as it doesn't leak.

 
2 - there is a battery under one of the seats, it has one wire that goes through the wall towards the bathroom.
What's the battery for and what does it power? We will buy a new battery if we need one as it looked knackered.
 
3 - looks like there are sockets on the side of the lights... What are they for?
 
4- in the bathroom there are two switches, one turns the light on, what's the other one for?
 
5-  in the kitchen there are three gas knob things with pictures on, can you tell me what they're for?
 
6 - wiring and a black box under the sink. What's the black box? What is the wire for that's not plugged in?
Can you please explain all you see in the photo?
 
7- is the heater gas or electric?
 
8- random black box with wire in the cupboard not connected to anything, what is it?
 
9 -small water tank and wires in small cupboard, what's all the wires for and where is the water for?
 
10- brown box in cupboard, what is it for?
 
11 - White boxes.. What are they? 
 
 
Thank you so much in advance x
