I got the stock 1000 watt inverter. Of course it came with the standard deep cycle battery. Ive got two 100ah batteries and wondering if its overkill. If two in parallel is, could I just use one while charging another with my portable solar panel ? Just hate to have disconnect and reconnect. My...
Hello, this is my first post, I hope I did this correctly.
I have a 2021 GT32A3. I want to upgrade the power converter to a pure sine wave inverter/charger. I already have a pretty good idea of inverter wattage requirement, I just need to know the amp/hour rating of the OEM coach batteries. The...
Hello Everyone,
I put our 2021 ISATA5 28ss RV into (outside/non-covered) storage in October. Unfortunately, there are no power connections at our storage facility. Before leaving, I turned off the power to the RV in the power bay (red turn switch on right) to reduce parasite draw on batteries...
My 4 house batteries are not charging. I am plugged into a 30 amp outlet. I have 14.37 volts carried through my system to the battery control center. I have checked the battery disconnect switch and it is on, however, I only register .6 volts on the positive battery charging cable. The...
We just picked up our new FR3 30DS on 12/2. With the 2024 changeover, Forest River is now using Battle Born Batteries. Nowhere in the FR3 information did they mention they would be heated BBBs, but low and behold, they are. We did our walk-through and the technician didn't mention it. In fact...
The 2011 Sunseeker we just bought has two 12V AGM batteries that need to be replaced.
If I put a LiFePO4 battery (either a 100a/h or 200a/h) under the steps to replace them, and replaced the charger (which is in the back storage compartment) with a LiFePO4 charger would I be all set?
Is there...
Hello, A novice looking for advice.
Problem: DC power will not run on batteries. DC will run on shore. Inverter shows all green lights. AC power outlets work.
It confuses me that the inverter and the AC continue to work
Any advice?

I have a 2023 Forest River Sunseeker motorhome. I just purchased 2 new 12volt lithium 100 amp batteries.Do I need to purchase anything else to change over to the lithium batteries.I have a 190 watt solar panel on the roof.
So went on our 2nd trip, tried Boondocking out in the desert. very sunny day so i figured the solar would handle everything. so we were out all day. nothing on inside. about 2am i noticed the fridge was blinking and looked at the Firefly,
it has the coach batteries at 11.7. so i got turned on...
Hi.
My coach batteries are not charging when I am driving. If a press the emergency switch at the base of the driver's seat, then it charges. So the problem is not the alternator. The batteries also charges when the motorhome is plugged on 120V AC. I suspect a blown fuse or a bad relay but I...
Just curious and this may be a stupid question, but...
On a Sunseeker with Ford E450 V10, will the alternator charge the house batteries while driving? I noticed a second red cable on my starting battery and I don't know where it goes to or what it does.

I need to replace the 2 original batteries that came with my 2019 Geo Pro 14FK. Any recommendations as to deep-cycle batteries? I am open to a pair of 6v golf cart batteries. If it matters, the camper is in an extremely cold climate zone. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone.
Question - I have a 2023 Georgetown GT7 36D7.
If we are not running AC or Heat (saying it's 55-69 degrees outside), how long should I expect the batteries to support the fridge, water pump, outlets, tv's etc? This is assuming we have partially sunny days to recharge the batteries...
So was just wondering what most do for the Motor home batteries. We have a cold winter and i have always taken the battery out of our trailer and stored in the garage. I know some they just disconnected the batteries and leave in the trailer. Our motor home has 3, 2 in the back under the stairs...
Hi, and thanks in advance for any input!
I have a 2015 Salem T21RBS. It's sitting stationary in a park and when we bought it three years ago it had no batteries (cables are just sitting there loose; we run off shore power with no problems 24/7/365). I'd like to replace the batteries for power...
If I have a typical Converter (12v) hooked up to the batteries, and also supplying power to a DC Circuit board. what is the source of power?
Converter, or Batteries, or both?
Thanks
For several months now, we can't figure out why the batteries drain so fast on our brand new 2023 Forest River Aurora 26bhs travel trailer. (Interstate Deep Cycle Marine Batteries).
Troubleshooting:
1. While disconnected from shore power: 3 new batteries have drained in mere hours, without...
We have a 2018 Georgetown GT5. We went on a short camping trip (shorepower) after getting two new Renogy Deep Cycle AGM Battery 12 Volt 100Ah. RV has been parked since coming home with battery disconnect switch on. Today Renology voltmeter registers 1.3. What's going on? Engine battery is 1.6.
The Rockwood Signature 8263MBR trailer we purchased was equipped with lead-acid batteries, and I requested that they be replaced by LiFePO batteries: two Battle Born BB10012 lithium batteries were installed.
Other than to change the battery settings in the GoPower GP-PWM-30-UL Solar Charge...
Our new '23 Prism Elite came with two 12v AGM batteries and I've decided to upgrade to two Renegy 12v Lithium batteries. The converter and charge controller adjusts to Lithium but I have been advised that I should have a dc-dc converter to protect the alternator on the Sprinter from...
Thank you, forum members, for all the advice. My 2022 23MK came with a 150 Watts of solar and (1) 12-volt Deep Cycle battery. It would not keep the 12V Refrigerator going for 12 hours and dry camping is something we occasionally like to do. A few before, during and after pictures attached.
I...

Today, while prepping for a trip, I shut off the breaker at my home for my 50 amp pedestal to disconnect and check my 30 amp cables. When I went back to the coach and turned on the 12v overhead lights, nothing. I have a digital 12v read out mounted which normally will read...
(Apologies - new to the forum)
Any thoughts on replacement of the stock group 27 battery on my new Grey Wolf 19SM with two group 24 agm’s? Looks like they’ll fit, charge faster, take a bit more abuse, and provide about 50% more amp-hours but…
My two house batteries are dead. I went to Walmart to buy size 27 deep cycle batteries, but saw their new stock of size 29 Everstart Maxx. The latter is rated with higher 114 ah. It is a little bit wider than the generic battery that came with the rig, but I think I could squeeze the pair in the...
