Hi all

Live on the south coast and have had a 2023 AS Kingham (bought it at 6 months old) for about a year now and love it. Initially joined to find out about B2B chargers as I assumed we didn't have one - testing with a multimeter showed no charge going to the leisure battery when the engine was running. On further inspection I found that it did have a B2B but that it wasn't configured correctly for the leisure battery we had. Once the switches were in the correct position it worked fine. Loving the Kingham so far, like all vans it's a compromise, but it's the best compromise we've found so far. The only niggle I've come across so far is the guage for the underslung LPG tank which showed half full as we ran out of gas on the Isle of Skye, but other than that I think it's a keeper.

Looks to be lots of good info on here

Welcome Stuart. The LPG gauge is notoriously inaccurate though it usually shows empty when there is still plenty of gas in it. Most people go by their gut feeling and fill up when they think they are low. Its just a case of having a feel for your consumption.

I managed to fit 19.5 litres in the tank when we filled it. When we bought it the dealer said it had a full tank but I assume he was just reading the guage too. Been on a few trips since and the guage is reading half full so I will top up before we go away at the end October and get an idea of how much we've used
