If its a fairly new van it's probably automatic. Virtually everything will be 12volt now except heaters, fridge, sockets.

Try looking for a fuse box under one of the front seats as Avondales often had a 12v isolator switch located with this

I have an 2006 Avondale Dart and the power panel is on the side of the wardrobe.

there is a meter for the leisure battery, a switch that's says above it power (you have the option to press up for car, middle for off and down for van). A switch next to it says Power up for on, down for
off

Camping? You want me to go camping? Listen...My idea of "roughing it" is a night at a Premier Inn with no cable tv in it!

Paying to sleep outside .....Surely, that is an insult to homeless people?
