Upon connecting to the mains input, the

charging device and the plugs in the kitchen

and in the benches are supplied directly with

230 V AC power. The 12 V system is supplied

by a body battery that is separate from the

starter battery. This battery is charged on an

ongoing basis by the charging unit when

connected to a mains input. The vehicle's

generator charges this battery during travel.

An isolating relay in the engine compartment

regulates the current flow when the generator 

is running. If the voltage exceeds 13.3 V, then

the body battery is charged. 

The charging device charges the batteries if

connected to a mains input. It has an ON/OFF

switch and a selector to switch between gel

and acid batteries.
