When it parked up at home,I leave the panel off. Over a couple of weeks the leisure battery dies due things like tank sensors etc pulling power.
However when using, the panel is always on, even if we are gone for a few hours. Our fridge will not run on gas if we turn off the panel.

Control panel off when parked up at home.

My dealer drained the water system down and also isolated the leisure battery for winter but I put it back on as the solar panel keeps the battery topped up.

On the few occasions I have left the panel on by mistake, the solar panel keeps the battery at 100%
