The "standard" T6 template they sent us as a starter was so far removed from what we measured in our van, we really had to have the courage of our convictions to sign off on the final version!

My OH being the scientist she is measured, remeasured and then measured again before making a scale drawing. Hopefully it will fit as intended.
cathrobinson Feb 2021 10:33pm, 4 Feb 2021 9,029 posts	0 cathrobinson I checked on our MoHo in storage last weekend and the cab battery was flat I’d run the engine for a while 2 weeks before, so I suspect it is likely to be new battery time. The leisure one seems fine, thankfully - topped up by the solar panel. Plan is to jump the cab battery this weekend and see if I can get it to hold any charge... I suppose the other option is to bring the battery home and run on trickle charge.

The fridge is always on and we keep the habitation area enough above freezing so that the bedding and clothing doesn't get damp. We pop in every couple of weeks to check all is well. I might sleep in it this weekend for a change of scenery.

XB Feb 2021 7:31am, 5 Feb 2021 11,356 posts	0 XB We borrowed a motorhome for a year and went through one engine battery and 8 (4 sets of two) leisure batteries. We only paid for two of the leisure batteries; the other 6 were replaced under warranty. We never got to the bottom of it.
