Oh woe is me. That battery I bought from Wildebus, not that there is anything wrong with the battery, just the fact that I bought it aware that it was too big to fit in and thought I could overcome that problem but did not do it well enough. The seat, under which the battery resides, is seriously heavy so I did not lift it off to dig out the floor (recommended method) to gain the height but fitted spacers to raise the seat up (wife wanted it higher anyway) sufficiently for the seat to clear the terminals. This was fine until I came to replace the seat after leaning it back to make some adjustments to the wiring and tripped, dropping the seat, whereupon it slipped off and displaced the insulating spacers and landed on the terminals. The result of this was clouds of acrid smoke and all the insulation burnt off the negative wiring. It seems like the heat damaged the control/fuse board panel and much of the wiring so I have a major and probably expensive job to sort that out. If I am capable of doing so. The Nordelettronica 85.1 board seems to be unavailable. So until I can find one, fit it and replace much of the wiring I do not have a motorhome. Moral of story DO NOT FIT BATTERY WHICH IS TOO BIG no matter how good it might be.
