Charging problem

[Louie 630L]

Hi all I'm new here, hope someone can help we have a swift suntor 630L(2006) my leisure and cab battery dies after about 6 hours even though we're on hookup, checked fuses next to the battery charger/inverter all ok, leisure battery fuse ok any suggestions would be great, thanks in advance

Sounds like the charger is not working, check that.

Power going in as my sockets work on hookup

That doesn't mean the charger is working though.
Firstly, check the 230v mains breaker hasn't tripped
If it was working all the 12v stuff, lights etc, would be working as the battery is being charged.
Ideally, you need a volt/multimeter to check battery voltage while on hookup.
Should be 13v to 14v.

There's no change in the battery voltage when I plug in the hookup

Then the charger is either turn off or broken.
Check the charger body for an on/off switch and as I said, check the mains breakers.
All breakers should be in the up position

All the breakers are on the on position and there's no switch for the battery charger

Photo's of the panels /unit might help

Then the charger is broken and needs replacing.
But....
There should be an inline 20 or maybe 50amp fuse in the battery output wire. It should be near the battery.
really you need a meter to check fuses, a visual check simply isn't enough

I've had the battery charger off and checked the fuse inside and all ok

With a multi meter you need to check the charger is getting 240v going in, if it is check there is 12v or more coming out.
