OK we are keen campers nd just had a rather disappointing experience with our new PHEV. I assumed (all be it not stupidly ) that the aux battery was linked and charged by the main power pack. In other words that I could happily run a 12v out from the car to power fridges lights etc.
However instead of 10 days of smug "look at my car... oh really?... you need to bring a leisure battery with you?.. poor thing. " I had a flat car that would not start.
I find it a tad daft that despite being 80% charged and full of fuel the Aux battery can be run flat rendering the car stranded????
I was also under the impression that the 13pin trailer socket had a permanent DC out is this also running of AUX?
So I am looking for someone who knows how I can access the main battery in order to power my tent.
Any ideas?
