battery

Back in April I was living in fairly cold weather and with fully charged batteries the aquahot system would run all night off and on and keep it warm, I could get up in the morning and use the microwave to heat my coffee or the coffee pot to make a new one. Now with fully charged batteries and...

Hi everyone, First off, I want to thank everyone in advance for any help you can provide. I have a 2021 Forest River gray wolf 26DJSE with the solar panel package included from the factory. I took my camper out three days ago to the local campground nearby. It’s been connected to shore power...

My Dynamax DX3 sat for 2 weeks and I forgot to flip the kill switch and my chassis batteries are dead dead after just 2 weeks! What is running in the background on the chassis that would cause that to happen so quickly? Can't start the rig with a 1200A jumpstarter. Are the batteries toast? Thanks

Just read something saying you must "disconnect" solar before removing battery. Have solar panel on new Flagstaff and removed battery for winter. Preparing for first trip in a few weeks with new camper. Supposedly harms the controller??? Might I have a problem?? First experience with solar on...

I have a 2022 Wildwood 260 RTX toyhauler and it looks like the weld on the battery rail has broken loose. Looks like a crap weld job and rust already formed on the frame rail and it broke loose. I was wondering if anyone has made any modifications to the rail system. I was thinking about...

I added a battery cut off switch witch is working fine. Do you leave it on or off while traveling to the place your camping and on the way back home to charge it? Mike

Keeping your rig clean on the road. Doing some cleaning this morning in preparation for Hood River Adventure Van Expo next weekend. Thought I'd share my vacuum setup that I carry with us in the van. It's an older Dyson unit that's running an adapter allowing me to use my Milwaukee Tool...

Need to replace house battery. we are currently on shore power on a trip. Can I remove battery and get a replacement or will being without a battery for the inverter system be bad for 6 to 8 hours while we are out for the day Thanks

Are fluctuating readings normal? My Renogy battery monitor shows both current usage and watts jumping around constantly with very little load. The Renogy 60A Rover shows current fluctuating with batteries at 100%. Only Maxx fan was running plus a few standby things like tv's and USB outlet...

I have a 2022 forester 2401 MBS with a 12 V Magic Chef refer. In 70+ degree weather ( ambient inside cabin) the refrigerator on setting #2 runs quite a bit and can kill a pair of house batteries in 4-5 hours. This normal? Refer runs for upwards of 30 minutes to make temp shuts off for a while...

Our TT's GC batteries are getting fairly old so I am looking at moving to LiFePO4 batteries (two 100AH batteries) when I replace them. I see fairly wide ranging prices and I am also seeing a good amount of variation in the weight that the different companies have listed for their batteries...

Just added a Inverter and upgraded the cables from the battery. Somehow I might have the positive cable from the battery hooked up to the wrong post on the terminal block which is currently on the lower left. Presently no interior lights in the RV without shore power and the converter running...

I have a 3170ds motorhome. After sitting all winter, I put in my batteries and plugged it in to find that I have no power--no lights, no frig, no slides, nothing except one outside receptacle. This tells me that I have power from the shore power to the unit. My batteries all read good at 14.4...

May have gotten lucky. Got inside and radio/electronics center and 12 V lights work. After a delay, the fridge came on with 12V power. Power tongue jack isn't working off power. Will see how it all looks in the morning. My Highwall kept in insulated garage, but temperatures down to maybe20...

I am the new owner of a 2018 FR3 30DS. There are four wires connected directly to the positive terminal of one of the coach batteries. Anyone know if these are original and if so, what do they power? They all have inline fuse holders.

In a recent a week long trip, I noticed although plug in shore power, coach batteries were not been charged, after a night due to the usage of refrigerator and LED, battery is almost empty. I verified that two coach batteries themselves are working OK: 1) after driving a few hours, they can be...

Does anyone know where the battery disconnect switch is on a 2019 Puma fifth wheel?

i have a Wolf Pup 16HE, with a group 27 lead acid battery. i am considering good with a AmpereTime battery, mainly to reduce tongue weight, and the occasional off grid. since the converter needs to be replaced also, should i do that first, or the battery? will using the new battery for awhile...

Hi All, I have 315thb Artic Wolf 5th wheel and have had it for five years now and about a year ago the battery shut-off switch failed, and the dealer replaced it. Ever since he swapped out the switch, i can not run the trailer directly from the truck, the battery needs to be charged and in...

Hi folks Second hand trailer camper and we’ve had a few days out in it that we’re good already. Just this confusing part… They mentioned I should use the disconnect when I get to storage so it does not drain the battery. Push in for off I think. Strange thing was, the switch did nothing...

I have a 2018 FR3 29DS. Recently the batt disconnect just stopped working. Its lamp is lit all the time, no matter the position of the toggle. And when toggled, there is no "clunk" heard when switching on or off. Doesnt make a difference if shore power is on or off. Then after I pulled batt...

In my brilliance getting my '21 FR Ozark 1650BHK ready for the season I swapped the positive/negative hookups on the battery and fried the battery. After replacing the battery I tested to make sure everything was working both with the power hooked up and just running off the battery. When...

I have limited electrical knowledge other than wiring plugs and switches so I hope someone can enlighten me as to what's going on. I have a 10 Amp RoHS Solar Charge Controler hooked up to 2 Group 27 Deep Cycle Batteries wired in parrallel The solar panel is 150 watt mounted behind the...

Can anyone tell me if there is a battery disconnect switch on the FR Wolf Pup 2020 16pf tt? It's sitting in storage just draining away! Previous campers had switches!! Tia.

I'm new here so welcome all. I have a 2022 forest river wolf pup 23jg. This weekend was first time dry camping and my issue was trying to keep battery charged enough to keep the fridge going. It looks like in using 12 volt power. I also have a solar panel on the roof which did get sun. Should I...
