To ensure that all 12V electronic devices work without external power, the camping battery voltage should never fall below 12V (50%).
The lights in the Road House only work when the camping battery is charged or when an external power supply is connected.
First switch on the on-board computer above the sliding door:
You can then switch on the lights individually using the light switches at various points in the vehicle. Press and hold to dim:
There are numerous power sockets and USB ports throughout the vehicle:
- 230V sockets: you'll find one in the kitchen area under the cupboards above the sink and one under the rear seat
- USB ports and 12V sockets: are in the cockpit (USB Type-C and B), in the kitchen area under the cupboards above the sink, at the lights above the bed, in the boot and on the roof bed.

Please note the following:
- When stationary, do not charge any device in the driver's cab via USB. The starter battery will discharge and the engine may not start!
- 230V sockets: only work with an external power connection
- USB ports and 12V sockets: work without an external power connection, with a charged camping battery (always keep it above 50% or 12V).
- With a full battery, you can be self-sufficient for 1-2 days without a power connection, depending on usage. Then you need to drive for a while to recharge the battery or connect your camper to an external power source.
- 🚗 Slow driving & short distances → hardly any battery charge
- 🛣️ Long drives on motorways → better charge, but takes several hours
- 🔋 The starter battery is charged first, then the camping battery.
- ⚠️ Driving alone is often not enough to fully charge the camping battery.
- 🔌 Recommendation: charge externally every 48 hours to avoid energy shortages (especially at night 💤).
- Don't forget to unplug the power cable before driving off! For some models, you need to press the blue lever next to the plug downwards.
