Log-in.
(Preview)
For about the last week, I've had to give my Username and Password to log-in to every Forum of which I am a member. This morning, for some unknown reason, haven't had to do it once. Everything is back to normal. Why does this sort of thing happen ? I've changed nothing. Cheers, Sheba.

Lights - Using DC Power
(Preview)
Hi, At the moment I have my van connected to household power. When I turn the lights on in the van, I have noticed that the lights are drawing power from the batteries. Is this normal?
I had always thought that when plugged to AC, it would just use that power source.
