Romahome Electrics

[how4444]

Hi

I am still stuck with how to get the electrics working. I have attached a picture in my post on the hello forum. As far as I have been able to investigate we have no mains hook up or leisure battery. On the outside of the romahome are two leads a black and a Grey. The Grey lead/plug has nothing to attach it to and goes into the Romahome. I am guessing this is why we can't get the lights etc to work. I think the black lead/plug works the rear lights etc. We have asked the garage we got it from about this and they are supposed to be getting back to us. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks Howard

Hi Howard.
I've had a look at your pictures and the right hand one shows the gas tap for the fridge, the centre one shows where the wires from both the black and grey plugs outside end up. You're right about the black plug, it does indeed run the rear vehicle lights, the grey plug should be plugged into a socket that has been wired like a caravan socket on a towbar, it runs the fridge while driving and charges the 2nd battery if fitted. With the demountable Romahome also used it to run a feed from the battery or batteries that were fixed to the chassis rather than the Romahome pod, this allowed you to disconect every thing when demounting the pod.
The chassis sounds as if its not been wired for running the pod, you need to ask your garage to fit a caravan socket to plug the grey wire into. They will need to establish which wire in the grey plug feeds the block in your photo and run a live feed to the caravan socket.
Thanks
