24/7 emergency callout · Motorhome and leisure vehicles
Leisure & Starter Battery Help, Coventry | emergency jumpstart
Coventry motorhome callouts — split charge relays, leisure banks and starter batteries diagnosed on-site. 24/7 Emergency Jumpstart, 24/7.
Split charge systems add a third variable. If the relay or DC-DC charger has failed, the leisure bank stops being replenished while driving, and the first sign is usually a fridge that dies overnight.
Coventry at night is quieter than most people think — that means faster response times, not slower. Most emergency jobs on the CV1/CV2/CV3/CV4/CV5/CV6 area are done inside 45 minutes of the call.
We're based in Oldbury, minutes from the M5 and M6, so night response into Coventry is genuinely quick — no waiting until morning like some breakdown clubs.

Storage, standing and split charging
Access matters with larger vehicles — we plan for restricted CV1 streets and compound gates before setting off.
Locally that means Coventry itself plus the neighbourhoods that feed into it, with access via M6 J2/J3 and M69 and a practical radius reaching Nuneaton (~9 mi) and Bedworth (~5 mi).
Testing two systems properly
- Starter and leisure banks are tested independently, because a healthy engine battery tells you nothing about the habitation side.
- Where the vehicle is going back into storage, solar and maintenance charging options are discussed.
- Card, contactless, Apple Pay and Google Pay accepted on the driveway — no cash-only surprise
- Every emergency jumpstart finishes with a charging-system reading, so the same fault does not reappear next week.

- Fixed prices agreed before dispatch — no callout fee just to open the bonnet in CV1.
Recent leisure vehicle jobs
Recent job nearby: a motorhome in Coventry with a perfect starter battery and a leisure bank at 9V. Split charge relay had failed — habitation side was never charging on the move.
Recent job nearby: a converted campervan off M6 J2/J3 where a self-installed DC-DC charger was wired to a switched live and only worked with the ignition on.
Where we attend
As a district hub, Coventry is covered alongside its surrounding neighbourhoods, so a motorhome and leisure vehicles call from any of them routes to the same engineer.
Motorhome battery questions
Q.Is there a night surcharge?
No. Same price at 3am as at 3pm. We think surcharging people who are already stranded is bad business.
Q.I'm on my own and don't feel safe — can you stay on the phone?
Yes — we do this all the time. We'll stay on the line until we arrive, and you can share your live location if that helps.
Q.My engine starts but the fridge and lights are dead. Which battery is it?
The leisure bank, or the split charge system that feeds it. The starter battery is clearly fine if the engine turns over.
Q.Can I use a starter battery as a leisure battery?
Not sensibly. Starter batteries hate deep discharge and will fail quickly in a habitation role; leisure batteries are built for exactly that cycling.
Q.Do you attend storage compounds?
Yes, provided you can arrange access. Tell us the gate arrangements when you book so the visit is not wasted.
Q.Do you cover Coventry and the CV1 area for this?
Yes. Coventry is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via M6 J2/J3, roughly 19 miles from Birmingham. We also cover the surrounding neighbourhoods on the same run.

Getting ready for a trip?
Have both banks and the split charge system checked before you set off rather than at a campsite. We route in via M6 J2/J3, roughly 19 miles out from Birmingham.
The short version
Starter, leisure and split charge — check all three and a motorhome electrical fault stops being a mystery. Locally this is handled alongside Nuneaton and Bedworth, so the van is rarely far away.
