]Hi folks :I have got a Jayco journey DX pop top 2020 caravan with electrical issues . Caravan management system is shutting down
the caravan ,. presumably from a lack of 12 volt power when on battery power .

Caravan is fitted with 2x SSB dry cell AGM deep cycle batteries hvt 7022d
date15/5 /2020 .
Edit :caravan management is BMPRO J35B .
Also is lithium compatible ?
One of the batteries has had it ..10 volt after 2 days of charge .The other is holding 12.9 . volts . when I disconnected the faulty battery and just had the good battery connected the battery goes from fully charged state to 10 to 11 volts when I turn on the caravans Electrics system & then the caravan management system shuts down the electrical system .

So first question is what sort of thing is going to drag approximately 2 / 2.5 amps from the batter and also why would the solar panel only producing <2 amps when it might normally ~ 6 amp ?
This is when everything in the caravan is turned off

Prior to this problem the the system has worked perfectly well . I am not sure on the size power output of the solar panel but would normally keep the caravan fridge running for at least two to three hours on previous trips when towing , there is no charging system ie DCDC charging coming from the vehicle at present .

A couple other questions in regards to replacing the battery or batteries does the caravan need to have dry cell deep cycle and can a caravan like this be fitted using the original equipment with lithium batteries the batteries are located inside the caravan under the seat .

Happy to hear from you and your thoughts on these problems .I have called an auto electrician to book it in .
we are in southern Adelaide subs . South Australia and not sure if Jayco dealer would look at this problem they have seen to be a bit vague in the past on questions asked .
any recommended service centres ?

One of the pictures is when the system is on and the other is when it has switched off
