Help....I have a 1999 Elddis Hurricane GTX. I have no Interior lights, no water pump or toilet flush. Looking on the control panel can only see 1 10amp fuse which is ok, the trip box is fine. can't locate any other fuses in the van. Any Idea's would be most welcome.

Battery was charged the day before we came away. We seem to have some 240 and some 12v. Fridge is on 240 and sockets, No 240 lights.
12 v lights are working but no water pump, toilet flush, fire igniter.
Wondering if there's a fault with the control unit ??

don't have a rocker switch to switch between van and battery, should do it automatically.

I wouldn't have thought so on a 1999 model as there is normally a car/van switch like Jeff said.

No, there's no car/van switch, been all through the van and the manual, it does it automatically.

I have the exact same caravan, there is a rocker switch right below the battery indicator on the electric panel as you walk in on the left hand side, it has 3 positions: Car:Off:CaravanThere are fuses there and switches for each.

As an added I can scan a wiring diagram I have for a 1997 and post it as a pic, although if it's not tomorrow then it will have to be in a week as we're towing the old girl out to Eastbourne on Sunday :)
