Hi there
I have recently bought a CI Riviera 181 2001, which has been water damaged, so currently in the process of ripping a lot of it out, I have the control panel for the electrics, but all of the electrics that I assume used to live in the wardrobe have been removed and likely sold, there is no leisure battery currently insitu. I just wondered what the control panel would have been connected to? I assume that there would have been power cables from the leisure battery to whatever is there and a fuse box to then handle the electric hook up and any sockets running from that. There do appear to some cables coming from the starter battery to where the leisure battery should be. I am hoping to install solar panels eventually, so wondered whether it is better to have more 12v sockets and lighting rather than relying too much on electric hook up? Any thoughts would be gratefully received!! I have attached an example of my control panel.
