Get it sorted!!

As with all new vehicles, there have been a few glitches on the new camper since I picked it up at the beginning of June. I organised for it to go into service in December, but the Great Ice Age struck and all the plans went on hold.....until yesterday when they came to collect it.
So, when I get it back the front blind should stay in place (the screws had fallen out); the toilet door should shut and reopen without trapping anyone inside; the panel under the bed should stay in place instead of falling out; the overflow pipe to the clean water tank shouldn't be dripping all the time; and most importantly of all - the batteries should be working so that I can at least get in and out of the camper!!
This latter is caused by a Peugeot fault, apparently. The on-board computer is draining the batteries when the vehicle isn't used for any length of time (apparently at about 5 days of no re-charge this becomes noticeable) I think this is scandalous, and apparently Autocruise are 'in discussions' with Peugeot about this. Watch this space.... In the meantime the only easy solution is to connect a solar trickle charger to the battery all the time it is standing, so this is what I am going to do....let's see if it works, shall we??
