[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 515215, member: 3820"] Thanks for the info bicter, I've just setup the camper out the front, I had switched the charger off as soon as I smelt the odour yesterday, the camper was packed down at the time of charging so ventilation was poor. I suspect it's due to the battery being dead for some time as the people I bought the camper from hadn't used it for a long time and it was parked in their garage not being charged. Me putting it on the charger while working away for 2 days was probably not such a good idea in hindsight but I'm just glad the wife didn't poke her head in there while I was away. I had expected to replace the battery and solar panel before we bought it so no issues there. Just glad I had my 4 gas analyser on hand as someone not aware of the consequences of gasses in confined spaces may have continued to crawl into the camper to check the battery charge which would have been fatal going by the odour and reading on my Gas Alert Max XT II.
