Charging Hab Battery
Apologies for what I would imagine is a basic question.
We have just taken delivery of our Orian Zeta.
I note that the vehicle battery can be switched to charge when on 230v hook up however, despite scouring the manual, I cant find, if, when driving, the hab battery is charged from the vehicle alternator once the vehicle battery is fully charged.
Could anyone provide an answer?
Many thanks

Re: Charging Hab Battery
Yes, that’s what usually happens. The 3-way fridge should also work whilst the engine is running. I’m not familiar with your vehicle so it’s possible that yours doesn’t charge, but I’d be surprised.
Does your question imply that your habitation battery is not being charged whilst driving? That suggests either a failed battery or a failed split charge relay, I think. Many other members can advise further as to electrics.

Re: Charging Hab Battery
In your van you have what is termed as 'the split charge relay'. When the engine is running that relay connects the habitation and vehicle battery together so that they both charge from the alternator.

Tim, we too have an Orian Zeta and love it. It is basically an older Nuevo on the later Boxer chassis. We like the simplicity of the habitation switch gear, no touch screen panels etc. to cause issues.
Both Cymro and Peter know their stuff and have a wealth of knowledge.
Enjoy your new van.
I often wonder how many Orian motorhomes were produced!
