Battery issues...

Woke up to feed Poppy around 4am and the leisure battery had gone flat which meant we had no lights and no heating. Luckily it wasn't too chilly. Same thing happened a few days ago and it was very cold in the morning!
Very odd it happened as we'd charged up at a campsite the day before and had driven a bit as well, so the battery should have lasted fine. It lasted for 2 days previously without us having to plug in to charge it.
Matt called thl who owns Maui and they said to go to an RV garage about 30mins away so they could see what the issue is. Bit annoying as we wanted to carry on heading up the coast and this was a detour, but if they manage to sort the battery it's worth it so we can camp in freedom camping spots, not just powered sites.
We went to a cafe whilst the garage looked at the battery for us. They decided to replace it so fingers crossed it will be ok tonight!
We're at a campsite in Whanganui now. Was a bit of a long drive but the girls did great and enjoyed playing on the black sand beach when we arrived. Poppy was digging in the sand and Rosie spent ages collecting what looked like walnuts to decorate our sandcastles. We chatted to a local family with 3 kids under 4yrs old who were really friendly. Matt got given a kawahi when he was fishing on the pier so we smoked that at the campsite for dinner. Bit of a late one for the girls as we only left the beach just after 5pm.
Poppy has eaten loads at lunch and dinner today! Think she might be having a growth spurt!Read more
