Another of my daft questions ;
On the Truma Control Panel plus does the display go off when everything is off i.e. when the caravan is in storage. Ours continues to show the time even though it is only connected to a solar panel.I have looked at the instruction booklet and can't find anything about this and assume it must be ok but don't want to run down the leisure battery.Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks.

You need to switch off the 12volt system ( at least we do in ours).

Thanks for the response but I have been advised not to disable the 12v as the solar panel charges it and additionally would switch off the alarm system.

We don't have an alarm.... but we were told to turn it off.
I can see the logic of leaving it on for the alarm.

You need to hold down the main control button on the panel until it goes off. And ensure you have turned off the Master switch on the panel below it if there I one.

To turn it back on press and hold down the main control button again.

Problem solved .
You just need to press the central control knob for more than 3 seconds.The word 'OFF' then appear and then the screen goes blank.
Thanks for the help

that's what I meant - not easy to describe stuff without inserting pictures!! I wish I knew how to insert pictures on these posts - it never works for me.
