Mine didn't when built, but it is easy enough to install a battery to battery charger or split relay (or so my other half tells me, cos he did it). I understand from reading motor mags in the past that you need at least a 20 min run to get an engine up to temp and to eliminate any condensation. Why not go out for a picnic or take the dog (or a neighbour) for a walk once a month. You don't need to keep the water tank topped up, just carry a small gerry can of tap water for a cup of tea or dishes after a bowl of soup & cheese on toast. Your van can turn a short walk into a lovely day out.
Don't have a dog, or neighbours who would wish to join in on this type of escapade but certainly friends who might. It's a good idea and I must admit I was wondering whether I was running it for long enough. The temperature gauge is showing that its up to heat after 10mins or so but I'm sure half an hour would be much better.
