That's actually not a bad shout. My father-in-law does the same on his caravan 🚐

Re: Leisure battery advice

Mine is a Yuasa - it cost about 100 quid from my local Auto-Electricians in Tunbridge Wells. My driving battery is also a Yuasa at around the same cost.

Had no problem with either.

Re: Brake bed-in?

Just putting it out there....
Would temperature be a factor ?
It's been really warm, then really chilly and now warm again.
I only ask due to my Hope C2 Hydraulic Brakes on my Kona need bleeding regularly in the Summer months.

Just askin is all.
