Bailey Approach 2012 motorhome Battery Issued

[GIZMO1020]

Hello we have a 2012 Bailey approach motorhome and are having problems with the van’s battery.
Currently, on a campsite in Spain and had someone charged our battery via their car.
This is the second time it has happened, once on a Benidorm campsite and now on a Malaga site.
Turned the engine over the day before and the next day, nothing.
All suggestions greatly appreciated.

You could try checking the starter battery terminals and earth cable connections (body and engine) for tightness

Also check the acid levels on the battery. What voltage do you have on it?

More information needed. Is the van on ECU? If so, in our Bailey Approach 620, ECU will only charge the leisure battery and you need something like the Battery Master to charge the vehicle battery. If your van’s radio is on, this will drain your vehicle battery fairly quickly as well.
How old is the vehicle battery? Maybe it has reached the end of its lifespan and won’t retain a charge.

Battery Master is good to a point,but as many others have said drags power from LB so if you're not putting anything back you end up with both(all )batteries depleted over time also only do a maximum 1amp charge to starter battery so not good for replenishment of deliberate draw
