CHAP. XI Operation of appliances
General
The electrical energy necessary for your lighting and for
operation of all household appliances, water pump, WC,
etc. in your living compartment is provided by a 12 volt
battery (2 on certain models).
All extra batteries are installed in addition to the basic
vehicle battery.
A coupling relay is installed between the two batteries:
- when traveling, this relay couples the two batteries
together so that they are recharged simultaneously.
- separate» the batteries when stopped. In this way, if
your unit battery is completely flat, you can still start
your vehicle engine.
The battery(ies) of living compartment is(are) located:
- generally inside a special box in a rear comportment
of the camping car.
- under the front passenger seat.

and gel-based.
It is up to you to decide on their respective advantages;
your selection criteria, in particular utilization, will
determine your choice.
