Just picking up on what B and B wrote about Esperance, at the end of the thread about Bendigo.

Hi Campers, how necessary is it to keep the caravan's battery charged? If the van is standing for some time - more than a couple of weeks, should it be 'topped' up? Van is under cover so solar panel wouldn't work. Thanks, Jay-Jay
