van Parking Lights..

[Green Giant]

Just sharing a tip, if like us you throw some of your excess baggage onto the drivers seat when camping in the van, just be mindful you don’t accidentally, unknowingly knock the stalk activating the parking lights, like we did, not sure how long they were on, definitely all night, probably a lot longer before we noticed, we also had a bike rack plugged into towbar, so those lights were on too, Opps, completely dead starter battery, saved the day with a jump starter boost pack, phew

Best hope you haven't shagged your battery.

What jump pack have you got?

Given all this canbus control how come the side lights don't switch off when the voltage is low?

Hopefully not, only happened 2 days ago, we were camping up in the Cairngorms, was about -5

I thought that too, not sure if the bike rack lights made a difference, as towbar is aftermarket fit and not fully coded in.

I suspect because they are legally required lights and there is the safety aspect if you were stranded. Parking/Side/Hazard you want running till the end of the charge if you're on a blind curve or similar.
