charging the 12v on the move
hi dudes................i know this might sound really silly but what switches need to be pressed on the zig unit for it to charge the leisure battery whilst on the move...i think its the cf8?...........ive got the switch with (site-touring)switched to touring...............the 240v switch on the off position....now does the 12v switch need to be switched on or off for it to charge....maddam iguana doesnt use the 12v too often and after one strip light was on for 20mins last night the charge light went to red?....................

Normal car charger will do it unless you have a gel battery.

You could set the switch to site, plug in the electric lead from van to house, it will charge it without removing battery (overnight should do it). Oh and make sure you don't drive off with said lead still attached
