I've had a look under the bench behind the driver's seat.....there is an empty drawer to the left and a heater to the right of that, but I'm sure the leisure battery must be in there somewhere.....If you have a Vivante, it will likely be under the rear driver side passenger / bench seat (whichever seat you have)
......under the seat behind the passenger seat is an empty cupboard......
Do you have a kitchen?I've had a look under the bench behind the driver's seat.....there is an empty drawer to the left and a heater to the right of that, but I'm sure the leisure battery must be in there somewhere.....
I'll go and have a look................
It could be below the fridge.......there is a panel which I didn't unscrew, and something may be behind that........I'll go and have a look................
Unlikely with the Vivante, the electrics are all on the driver's side, the kitchen is on the passenger side.
Diesel heater, if you have one?There's an empty compartment under the belted seat, nothing in there, will try and lift the seat base up and have a look. It wouldn't be under the driver's seat would it, something is under there
Come on Caz! I'm losing sleep over this!No I don't have one, but am sure battery it is on the driver's side, as the safe is under the passenger seat and an empty drawer is under the seat behind that one. Will go and have a tinker about in van this week
Mine was fitted beneath the rear cupboard so is in a space by the offside wheel arch. Accessed with great difficulty from under the R&R bed
Oh Wayne you're going to have to wait a bit longer coz I've taken my van to it's other home and swapped it for the car, which I do every two weeks so as to keep the battery charged on both vehicles, I will report back when I find it..........x
Oh
they put them in some very strange places it seems
Yes that's what CAB said you are both right (I was doing it wrong so thanks for the help). If I hook up to mains from the house the main (CAR) battery won't charge up but the leisure (VAN) one will, although I normally leave it set to OFF because I thought the main (CAR) battery will charge the leisure (VAN) battery while I'm driving the van. So it tops it up. Hope I've got it right now. It's nice to have the battery indicators then you don't get caught out. I try to keep them in the green all the time. Will try & trace wires to leisure battery.
So Hello again I've got my van back it started first time in the snow Woo
Hoo
Really is quite the mystery! Certainly well hidden!So Hello again I've got my van back it started first time in the snow Woo

There is nothing under the driver's seat. Am I getting closer, or do I have to do some more crawling around on other side of van
