Hi,
I've had my camper nearly 18months and I'm still not sure I'm doing things right.

I've got a solar on the roof of my pop top but not sure how much power that generates in the winter (is there a way of finding out?)
So I also plug the van into my house outdoor 240v socket once a month or so for 24hrs, I presume by doing this I'm effectively charging my leasuire battery?
Is that correct? If so Is once a month often enough?
I've added some photos of my supply unit and other bits.

Do I need to be pressing any buttons or turning anything on when I'm charging?

The solar should keep it topped up, but once a month on EHU doesn't hurt, and compensates for any really 'orrible weather.

EDIT:
Get a BM2 bluetooth monitor and then you will always know what it is sat at:

Thanks for the reply.
I've got a Bluetooth Vicron connect if that's something similar? (Only new that as i found a manual with all my other bits for the van)
Why I'm doubtful is even when it's sunny i never get the solar light lit up on my solar charge controller, its only the battery light that's ever illuminated.20250324_180110.jpg
