Stereo and battery life

Post by Mango_bongo » Fri Jul 28, 2017 9:26 am

We are pretty new to the bongo and want to know if using the stereo will run the main battery flat. We have hook up and the leisure battery is full but we have assumed that the music runs off the original system. Can anyone help? This is a Southern Bongos conversion if that makes any difference.

Difficult to answer that as converters do things differently.

It may be transfered to the LB, or not, which won't help you much. :?

I'm not sure if the EHU will top up the SB, either.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.
