I built(modified) a battery box for my 2020 Rockwood Mini Lite 2205s to accept two-type 27 batteries. Then the other day, I got a smokin' deal on two solar panels (coleman 38100 100watt($62 each)). Now I'm trying to figure out what wiring options I have on the roof of this trailer. I see the one...
Morning!
What does everyone suggest when putting my RV away for the winter do so with the engine and coach batteries in my class C? I will not have access to electricity so a battery tender isn’t an option. Do you remove the batteries and take home to keep trickle charge on? Or simply...
I probably asked this question a year or two ago, but can't find the answer. I has 2 Battleborn Lithium 100amp batteries which I installed back early last year. I haven't done any camping in over a year. I still have the old PD4560 converter charger and have installed a Bussman resettable...
I installed Lithium batteries in my Forester in the step well last year. We have an upcoming trip to the Sierras next week. Weather predicts snow and temperatures dropping into the teens a night. Battleborn says they will accept charging down to 24°F and discharging down to -4°F. It...
Hello everyone, my question is we are going on a cross country trip West Virginia to Seattle, stopping on the way only at rest area’s and maybe Wal-mart parking lot, have a 2021 FR3 30DS, should we run the generator the entire time or use propane while driving and generator when stopped, or...
Is it ok to keep 2-6 volt batteries on a Battery Tender in an unheated garage over the winter in Pennsylvania? My husband always put them in our basement but after 2 knee replacements, he struggles to carry them downstairs. Our 21FBRS is stored on a storage lot without electricity. Will it...
I have a 2004 Forest River Lexington 235s with a Ford E-450 chassis. I had the rv in for work for a propane leak and had them check the refrigerator to make sure propane operations were good (only had rv 3 months and never tried it). RV was ready for a week before I called (long story). When I...
I usually don't take my batteries (3) out when I put my 3010 DS in storage but this year I decided to. I can't believe how much weight three batteries adds. Any thoughts on economically eliminating some of the weight?
We just got our new 2021 Vibe 26RK and it came with the 12v only Everchill fridge and two DieHard automotive type batteries. I am looking into upgrading the batteries. Besides lithium what do you guys recommend? I know some guys say golf cart batteries but what brand? Thanks.
I've read, and read, and read....and now my brain is spinning. So, I'll pose the question as straight-forwardly as as I can (that's a euphemism for not really knowing what I'm talking about) :)
Is the engine alternator supposed to charge the house batteries?
If yes, under what circumstances...
Hi Folks,
I have 4 x 6V AGM batteries in my FR Sabre, and a 600W solar system mounted on top of the trailer. I have left the solar system charge controller running, but disconnected all of the trailer power from the battery system.
I'm writing today to see what other people recommend wrt...
I have a 2021 Grey Wolf 22MKSE that came with a single 12 volt 75 Ah battery and a 50 watt solar panel. I upgraded to a four 6 volt 430 Ah battery bank and 800 watt solar panel system with MPPT controller setup. The solar works very well at charging my battery bank quite quickly and rarely...
Can anyone tell me for sure if a 2019 Isata 3 24rwm RV have a DC to DC charger or battery separator/isolator located between the starter battery and house batteries for charging from the alternator?
I need two new coach batteries for my 2019 Isata 3 24RWM Class C motorhome. The two Deep Cycles Intimidator AGM Coach Batteries in my 2019 Isata 3 24RWM Class C motorhome will no longer hold a charge. Can anyone out there recommend a good replacement battery?
Hello,
I have been a lurker in the forums since buying my 2020 GeoPro and it may have been addressed already and if so sorry for the new thread. Last winter I took the batteries out and kept them in the garage on battery tender and all was well.
But I was just wondering since I have solar and it...
My wife and I were working on a project in our coach yesterday. We turned on the interior lights around dusk and after a while noticed them start to flicker. Shore power is connected. A/C power is fine throughout the coach. I could hear the inverter fan come on when the lights were "bright". I...
I have an Isata 3 24' FW I am wondering where the disconnect is for the coach batteries. I have the solar charge controller and its indicating that BT1 & BT2 have low voltage. I am guessing this happened because I have a drain on the batteries that was more than the solar could keep up with...
Hi,
I've got a small problem and am hoping someone can help:
I installed two new Renogy 12v 100Ah to replace the stock marine batteries in my RV. After the swap, everything was back to normal.
I then upgraded the converter part of my WF-8955 with the PD4655LIV. After plugging everything back...
We have a Georgetown XL and after setting for about 4 days drains all batteries in the coach and engine. I have tried everything from checking battery water, replacing the engine battery and turning off all breakers. The coach disconnect switch is always turned off but everything still drains...
We just got our Isata 5 30FW and on our maiden voyage we learned that boondocking might have to wait till we figure out how many lithium batteries we need to run a residential refrigerator.
At 7pm with 100% battery capacity, at 6 am next morning we had 21% battery capacity left. The only...
My camper has two 12V batteries hooked together (would that be in series?). It's currently in for some repair (not battery related) and we're taking it camping the day after I get it back. The batteries were pretty depleted before I took it in so i will need to charge them quickly when it comes...
I am committed to making the jump to Lithium batteries from the 6 volt golf cart setup I currently run. My only unresolved issue is winter storage. I live in Colorado and we usually will have one or two periods during the winter of below zero weather. Highs of only 30 degrees are also very...
