ABI Marauder 500 ct 1990.  Non of the caravans 12v electrics work when the caravan is not connected to 240v hook up. When it is connected everything works as normal. I have checked all the fuses and they are all ok. On the control panel the indicator for the battery doesn't show anything unless connected to 240v supply.  Can anyone please give me any advice on what i can do to fix this.

is there a switch somewhere, for car/middle/van

If so, make sure its switched to van, the middle may well be for running 12V from the charger/12V battery.

Have you also checked if there is an inline fuse just after the battery, if so it may have gone, and you could have a flat battery as well. it doesnt sound like a problem with the system given that it runs when on EHU.
