Hi Michal, Daniel here from Bratislava, Slovakia. MP Horizon too
Hi Daniel. Do you also experience low starter battery issue while staying in camp? I am quite disappointed that such a car intended for camping is not ready to camp. I dont know what would be the best solution to this as I dont want to make hardware changes since is still under warranty. Fyi i like hiking in slovak mountains very much

I'm sorry to hear you have problems with the starter battery. I don't have problems with mine, but I have seen in this group that some people have mentioned problems with it.
When I'm in camp, I just use the battery mainly for charging tablets and phones and playing music through the sound system in the MP, and the heating is on diesel, so that's the only thing that I use, which is extra
We have a coffee machine that we charge through the USB socket, but that seems to work fine with the battery too
The rear cigarette lighter chargers have continual power and much larger power than the ones in the front cabin
For sitting outside in the evening, I use an EcoFlow device; we plug a lamp, our video projector, and our sound system into that. We also have a solar panel which can be attached to it
Some other threads in this group might help with the starter battery problems, but I'd definitely get it checked out if you're still under warranty.
