I have just purchased a EZYTRAIL PORTLAND LX 2017 CAMPER.
It came with a double solar panel loose in bag for added power.
I attached solar panels direct to battery via clamps and Controller said it was working fine.
However I tried to connect to Anderson Plug that is normally plugged into tug whilst on the move but the Controller
kept on saying battery wasn't connected.
Any clues or have I missed something.

So the solar panel has a controller mounted on it and you are connecting this to the battery and the Anderson plug? What controller are you referring too that says it is working fine?
-
Controller is attached to Solar Panels.
When attached to battery via clamp shows charge going into battery on the Controller.
However if I attach it via Anderson Plug onto the Anderson Plug that I use to attach to tug when
towing it shows charge going across but no battery ….. shows battery empty and no charge, even though
main controller shows charge.
-
check for a fuse in the Andersen line, or possibly even a DC charger
-
Check the contacts in the anderson plug are actuly in the correct locked in position and both are making contact, sometimes a contact pops out of its locking plate and slides back / not making contact ..

Check Anderson plug terminal hasn't been pushed back into the housing and not making a connection
