We are still without 12v despite all my efforts yesterday with the kind help of you funsters.

We are planning to go home today but the front blind is down and as I’ve no 12v I can’t raise it.

The HYMER manual says to lower the front bed to access the emergency raising position. I can’t do that as that also electric and runs off the 12v system.

Has anyone any ideas please?

If you start the engine then the dcdc/split charge relay may provide power to the 12v systems and allow you to raise the blind, depends on your system but may work

Just tried that. Sadly it didn’t work.

I think I may need RAC recovery and try to sort the overall issue next week.

Any thoughts?

Does the bed have a backup manual wind system?

Ours does although different MoHo. Ours is hidden on the UK passenger side tucked in between the bed and the van skin, hard to access but it’s there if needed.

Why can't you wind it up with the handle, it hooks into the side opposite the motor you have to remove the curtain around that side of the bed.
