Total newbie needs help with control panel

[SansaG]

Bought our first motorhome! There is no user manual and we are totally clueless with what to do with this control panel. Can anyone help?

It's a 1995 swift royale fiat ducato if this helps!

Plug in Systems Ltd are still in business. If no one on here can help, see if Plug In can.

What do you want to know?
All looks straightforward from the graphics on the panel

As Berni says, looks straight forward,
Top left meter is the condition of the batteries, the switch below can select the engine/ cab battery (left) or the habitation / caravan battery (right).
The other meter is for water. Left looks like a cup so drinking water (fresh) right is marked as non drinking so i would think the waste (grey) water tank.
Red switch in the middle to turn the water pump on and off..

Thanks tonka. The white thing at the top. It has a dial on the right that spins both ways. Does anyone know what that is?

Also the fuse switch? Do we keep that on when using the leasure battery or all the time?

Looks like it's an amplifier for the TV aerial.

Thank you so much tonka. Going out in it this weekend for the first time. Very excited!

I'm not familiar with that but it looks like a mains on/off for the carver water heater, which I know nothing about as never had one. Maybe someone else will be along to advise.
NOTE.. You should normally select the habitation / caravan battery for general use ie lights, water pump etc. The cab / engine only as a last resort because if you overuse that you may flatten it and not start the van
