    Electric Trailer Jack - Not working with shore power, but works with battery?

    Hello! I'm new to this whole RV'ing/Toy Hauler gig and have to admit, it isnt going well for me so far. Without getting into that and all the problems I've encountered, I've got a question regarding the electric jack: Somewhat recently, the toy hauler (2011 XLR 27HFS) electric trailer jack...

    Lithium battery goes loses charge quick

    We bought a 2021 Rockwood Roo 19. We are on our first warm weather trip with temps in the high 80 and our site has tree cover so the solar panel doesn’t help much. We were in our site for less than 24 hours and we lost all power. We used a friends generator to charge up the battery but we are...

    Battery Disconnect Switch

    Hello everyone. We are new to the RV world and I have a question. We recently purchased a 2016 Forest River Heritage Glen Wildwood Lite (model 368RLBHK) 5th wheel. We cannot find the battery disconnect switch anywhere. I have looked online and also reached out to Forest River but haven't heard...

    Battery maintainer

    I need to know if this will work. Can I charge the onboard battery while parked at home through the solar plug on the camper? I don’t like the idea of it plugged into the 110 volt plug all the time, unless getting ready for a trip. I do not have solar panels.Do I charge with the battery switch...

    I have a 2023 Riverstone 39RKFB and the left rear LED running lights stay on with the battery connected. I have swapped the light assemblies one at a time and the problem is still there. I have sprayed contact cleaner on the 7 pin, the light wire connection and the wire box on the pin box. No...

    battery backup question

    Last week after a couple of cloudy days my battery ran down and the electrical systems shut down. The next morning, I got ready to leave. The sun was shining again, and the solar panel did its job. I thought about buying a generator but might use it less than once a year and would still need...

    Enclosing Battery Compartment 32KD

    I'm considering enclosing the battery compartment on my Europa 32KD after having my Victron shunt burn out after driving in the rain. My plan is to pick up a HDPE panel an cut and form it to fill in the area I highlighted in the pictures. Are there any reasons I should not do this? Why...

    Battery - LOW Fault Overload

    I have a 2024 Flagstaff 25 FKBS and we took my first overnight without electric hookup. All was fine until the sun went down and then I only had power for about an hour. The only things operating were the ceiling exhaust fan, 12 volt refrigerator and the inverter powering a CPAP machine...

    2018 Flagstaff super-lite 29ksws....battery will not recharge.

    Okay I'm new here and trying to get my new 2018 29ksws battery to charge off shore line power. We've been in a 1987 nomad 5th wheel for 20 years. So this is new to us but we kinda understand a little. Enough to replace WFCO 8955 CONVERTER / gfci in bathroom / checked all breaker box fuses...

    Isata 3 Freedom Edition Battery Disconnect Recall Failure

    Ok, let me start by saying this is a rant. I'm frustrated and am not sure what I can do at this point. If you don't like rants you might want to move on. Like many of us that have an Isata 3 Freedom Edition I got the battery disconnect recall. It's a very simple recall, 30 minutes max...

    No AC power > Open Ground on battery power

    I had no issues with the camper on shore power. I arrived at the camp ground and the first night no issues. The next day my inverter read Hi voltage E -3. The panel reads 12-14. I’ve checked fridge and breakers. Nothing off, fridge u plugged and still problem. The GFCI tester showed open...

    Extra battery

    My husband is preparing our RV for our summer trip and we replaced the house batteries. He just discovered another battery under the slide floor. We have solar and thought solar just charged the house batteries. Does anyone know what this battery is for? It is a Sunseeker 2290s 2020. Could...

    Won't charge battery

    We got home from a camping trip and plugged into our house like usual. Now the batteries won't charge while plugged in. We also tied to plug into out generator and I would have to wiggle the cord just right to get the trailer power to stay on. It does charge when plugged into solar. What could...

    Disconnect battery for short term storage

    i'm trying to figure out the easiest way for myself and wife to be able to leave the battery connections as is at the battery (so neither of us need to open up the battery case and untighten/disconnect the leads) but not have the internal devices drawing on it if we have it stored for a week or...

    Chassis Battery Died

    Hello All - I just purchased a 2011 Forest River Solera SS24S on a Mercedes Sprinter. The previous owner brought it to me and set it up at a campground. Everything went well and everything in the house runs great. 2 days later, the chassis engine would not start. I called the previous owner and...

    6 V battery question

    Just purchased 2 new 6V batteries. Unbeknownst to me, I’m pretty sure I ran them empty by mistake. Now, the trickle charger in my camper won’t fully charge them. How can I get them up to full charge?

    Battery Terminal Block Fuse

    I will be installing 2) 100ah Lifepo4 batteries and a 2000w Renogy inverter in my 2024 Surveyor Legend. I was thinking about using a 200amp battery terminal block fuse from the positive side of the battery to the inverter. I will be using 2/0 wire from the battery to the inverter, hopefully less...

    Fire in battery compartment.

    First post here and thanks for having me. I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this, so forgive me if I have posted in the wrong one. We purchased a new 2022 Forest River RLF2891BH in August of 2023 and used it twice before the 12v system failed. The converter was replaced and I...

    Battery vs. battery

    Relion RB300 is a 300 AH battery for $2350.00. Then there is the Ingeosolly IN-12v300AH which claims to be a 300AH battery for $568.89. Why such a huge disparity in prices? Is this a extreme example of "you get what you pay for"?

    BACKGROUND: We are at home preparing for a 4 month trip and wanted to get a new battery. Our battery is over the 2 year mark and we were starting to see some degradation in its ability to hold a charge and power the jacks without shore power supplementing. I upgraded from a flooded lead battery...

    We recently purchased a 2009 Sierra 31 ft 5th wheel set up in a campground. After being there getting things in order for a couple of days I smelled hot wiring. The Bat Neg lug on the fuse panel was very hot as was the white cable connected to it. I shut everything off and now trying to figure...
