We have recently purchased our first caravan and we havent a clue what we need.  I know we need a battery but when we went to the camping shop were faced with different sizes and didn,t know which one will be the best.  We are hoping to go camping using EHU but somtimes we might not.  Which battery size do you reccommend? 

Thanks in advance for all your help.

no less than 85AMP for all your.i have this and it copes with a mover as well 110AMP is best but very heavy

12 Volt Leisure Battery (85 AMP) When fully charged will hold 85 amp hours of power. Batteries come charged with a 12 month guarantee. Not available mail order due to acid contents. Collection ONLY B12

I agree with Michael

I use an 85amp  leisure battery too and its coped quite well.

you may also find that not only are the 110 batteries heavy but the take up far too much room

If you have a dedicated battery locker and intend to do a fair bit of camping without EHU I would go for the 110 amp.

Your fridge will not run off your battery, it runs off gas or mains. It would drian it to fast.

But your battery should last about 7 to 8 days if its used for lights and water pump and a small tv with a couple of hours viewing a night.

I have one and it lasts for about two weeks if we don't use the shower and just use the above.

Flack.
