Hi everyone. How have people got on with this problem. I’ve been having a similar issue with my 2014 sportive. I’ve owned it for 2+years and it’s been good as gold. I converted it to a camper over a year ago and it’s all worked fine until about 6 month ago when I started with I get the occasional charging fault warning. It’s now becoming more frequent and it normally clears itself whilst it’s running l but I had to bump start it twice in the last month. Today. I drove from Essex to Devon it’s got continually worse through the trip. The battery readings on my Victron seem fine. Also about a weeks ago. I noticed the storing wheel is pulling to the left a little. Which someone else on here has said.
Did you get to the bottom of it? Having the same issue. I have the same setup and get this fault.
 
I did. I put the earth (black) to chassis and the red onto the nut that sticks to side of battery and it's never alarmed since.

An electrician looked at it and said it may be because of the cleanliness of the connections. It's working now with no errors and I've been driving it a fair while.
