You will find that there is a dedicated power outlet in that cupboard that is controlled by the hot water switch in the solar regulator cupboard The lead is for the hot water system 240 volt element. Make sure that there is water in the hot water system before turning on otherwise you will cook the element

My wife and I own a 19.6 leader gold have had issues with batteries not holding power after one day of road connected extra 120w portable solar panel and pumped up the voltage the batteries hold 12.4vlts and slowly drain during evening to 11.5 then the pump stops working and the lights start flickering, has anybody else had this problem?
Already replaced two batteries on warranty. Unfortunately warranty has expired and no return calls from dealer.

Hi! We have a different set up but also a Leader Gold. We have been travelling 7 months now with our kids, taken the van off road plenty of times and not had any problems so far

I have a leader gold 19 ft 6 inch semi off road caravan fitted with alco off road suspension. I purchased the van new in February 2017 and have travelled 25, 000kls . I have had no major problems with the van and am extremely happy with it.I find it a dream to tow with my landcruiser.I would have no hesitation in recommending a Leader.

has anyone purchased a leader palladium 22' bunk van? Any issues?

I can not comment on the 22' van but Leader's quality is very good on the surface. Just make a very close inspection of the underside, roof joints and payload limits.

We have a Leader gold, the only real issue is its hard to close the door as its not fitted correctly. I will be getting it fixed at the next service but unfortunately its out of warranty, apart from this it seems well made and in many areas it very well made and well finished.We have yet to find a van we would swap it for.
