2022 Rockwood ESP 1910
Question? When my pop up is sitting between trips month or 2 … what is the consensus on disconnecting the batteries / I have a switch that came from factory… I’ve been leaving it connected…
Thanks
Just traded in our 2018 Rockwood Ultralight 2703WS for a 2023 Rockwood Mini Lite 2205S. This will be our first exposure to solar power.
When I put the trailer into storage, it appeared the 2 ea 200W solar panels on the roof were continuing to charge our house batteries (2 ea 12V deep cycle...
My travel trailer currently has a LA battery located upfront & outside. I would like to install a replacement LI battery inside and near the converter / charger.
The current electrical setup has a short 8 AWG black wire connecting the negative terminal of the battery to the frame near the...
I know there are a gozillion places to buy battery cables.....but does anyone have a recommendation for a particular store and/or website where various gauge, length, and terminals can be purchased?
Any experience with BatteryCablesUSA ?
I messed up the first time raising the top on my pop-up and forgot to unlatch the top before attempting to raise it. I know, I know....stupid mistake. The winch cut off almost immediately. Since this incident, the winch will work prefectly off the battery power, but not will not work without the...
I have a 2020 rPod 176 travel trailer.
Attached is a picture of battery-related wiring & auto-resetting circuit breakers at the front of the trailer, near the battery.
The larger 8 AWG wire originates at the positive terminal of the battery, continues thru a 30 AMP auto-resetting circuit...
Hi
Is there a normal range for a parasitic battery current? My battery was being drained overnight while in storage. I have since taken to disconnecting it completely when I store it.

I have an Apex Nano 194bhs. I could always leave a battery connected for weeks or months and the solar panel would top it off as needed so that the battery was always full. This summer if I put a full battery on it is dead in 1/2 a day. Something must be draining is fast, faster then the solar...
I accidentally ran a battery discharge test last night when I forgot to plug it back in after moving it around in the garage. 🙃
If you are curious what the battery curve looks like on the stock 4x100Ah LiPo's in a 2021 28ss Xplorer...here you go!
Here are some stats:

Can I leave my battery hooked up to my TT while I put a charge on it using my battery charger? I know there are different ways but this is easiest for me under the circumstances.
Thanks, Mike
2019 Sunseeker 2500TS on 2019 e450.
While troubleshooting an electrical issue I found that my bathroom fan is powered by the chassis battery NOT the coach batteries. Is this normal? It’s certainly not what I expected.
The maxxair ceiling fan & kitchen vent hood ARE on the chassis batteries...
I could not find any documentation on what the inline fuses were for. It is driving me nuts.
So I got a marine fuse block and Rewired and marked the fuses, still trying to figure out where some of them go.
The fuses laying on the battery corroded and fell apart when I pulled them out...

My two coach batteries and 12V chassis battery always have the same voltage. During engine start the coach batteries’ voltage will sag then rebound to alternator voltage, making me think they’re not isolated from the chassis battery. On generator, shore...
Got my 2019 36DSD (on a 2018 RAM 5500 chassis) out of storage today. Brought it home, plugged in the 50 amp and cranked up the ac and started prepping for a trip. After an hour or so I noticed a burning smell. I looked under the hood and saw a small trail of smoke coming from under the ground...

What is the best replacement 12v battery for my TT? 2017 27rkss wildwood. No boondocking just full hook up sites for us. It has Delco 24dc in it now.
Thanks, Mike
Hello, i am in need if some advice. I had to unhook my generator/house batteries because the tray/cage thing that holds them and keeps them from falling out snapped on one side, Thank God I noticed it when my wife had to stop and use the restroom, would have been a disaster. So I disconnected...
Hello:
We are owners of a new 2022 FR FSX178 with the pre-installed and wired 190W Solar panel, GoPower GP-PWM-30-SQ SCC and the WFCO WF-8735-PB Power Center.
My question is in regards as to what charges the trailer's SLA battery- is it just the solar system or will it automatically switch...
Greetings,
My ‘23 Wolf Pup came with a Xpedition DC27 5 battery.
I’m setting up my new Renogy 40amp solar charger and need to know what type of battery to set the charger to. AMG, SLD, etc.? What battery type is the Xpedition DC27 5?
I have a Forest River Cedar Creek with a domestic refrigerator. Only runs on 120 V. Standard RV batteries run a dedicated inverter
For the refrigerator. Without being plugged into AC, how long should the batteries last just running the refrigerator?
New 2023 RP-192 owner here. I'm planning to add batteries underneath the murphy bed in the extra space where they have factory installed the 2000W inverter. What is the best way to secure upgrade batteries inside the camper? Can you simply screw a hold down strap directly to the floor? The way...
I see lots of videos of people installing these watt meters between the battery and solar controller. The question I have is the gauge of wire. Seems incorrect to install 4,5,6 gauge battery wire into a 10g watt meter wire?

How is this done the correct way?
