I have a 2022 Rockwood Geo Pro with a 190 Watt solar panel that came with the trailer. I current use 2 12 volt interstate deep cycle marine batteries. If I were to go to lithium, do I need to do anything besides swap out the batteries and change the charge controller to lithium?
I have a 2021 25fkbs with a solar package. The controller for the solar allows for a second battery bank. Any suggestions on how to wire up a second bank? Thanks.
I have a Class-C MB chassis and 2-AGM house batteries. I'm planning on converting to Lithium batteries and am debating using a LI-BIM (I presently have a regular BIM and this would be easy to swap) or re-wiring to a DC-DC converter.
The LI-BIM would maintain the ability to "Boost" the engine...

I am new to trailer camping and purchased this Rockwood hard side camper at the very end of the 2023 camping season, so I did not have a chance to use it. I will be purchasing a new battery and tires sometime in April.
I want a very good battery and very good tires. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Checking battery water levels
I have a 2020 Cedar Creek Hathaway Edition 35 IK 5th wheel (new owner of the RV.) The batteries are in a very small compartment with only 5 inches of space between the top of the batteries and the top of the compartment (see picture.)
I can't access the caps or...
Hello and thank you in advance.
2017 Forster 240WS and I have a slow battery draw. It takes w month for it to go flat. on a strider frame, (Mercedes suck). anyway, the question is because getting to the battery is a job ( below the driver floorboard) with the coach battery switch on can I...
I'm about to buy a 2014 Legacy SR300 diesel bunkhouse model, owner did tell me it needed new batteries but he is away on vacation a few days. I want to bring some new batteries with me but need to know how many batteries it takes for the chassis portion and what group/cca size I need. Also am...
Hi. Recently acquired a used 2021 Palomino Real Lite SS-1600 truck camper. I have not been able to find any kind of battery level indicator. The camper is not that big, so there aren't a lot of places to look, but I'm open to having missed it somehow. So my question is... Should there be one...
I have a 2016 Sandstorm 285GSLR Fifth Wheel Toy Hauler. I old solar panel was 100W. I upgraded panel to 300W a couple of years ago. I have 2 Marine 12V batteries in parallel purchased from Costco. I used to use 2000W generator to run TV and other stuff so I didn't have to use my onboard Onan...
Hi, I have a 2023 Forest River Palomina Puma 22RBFQ-2b. We have only had it a couple weeks. We just noticed that the battery keeps dying while plugged into shore power. We got a new battery thinking maybe the one the dealer gave us was bad, but same issue. Everything works for almost 24 hours...
Hi
I have a new 2022 Rockwood A122S....with the solar panel installed by dealer.
I am used to removing my 2 deep cycle batteries and storing in my garage for the winter, but I am wondering :
1- do I really need to do this? As I live near central CA coast and it rarely freezes.....wouldn't...
I'm upgrading my battery setup to two LiPo4 100ah batteries. Allot of posts talk about the theft possibility. Also not to use the exterior battery box. So has any body moved the batteries into their trailer ? My 25BRDS has some available room in the storage area, but does that involved punching...
Just ordered a Li Time 12V 230Ah LiFePO4 Battery as a direct drop-in replacement for the 2 ea. 12V lead acid batteries that came in my 2023 Rockwood 2205S Mini Lite. The Li Time website states: “It is recommended to store Li Time LiFePO4 batteries at 50% state of charge (SOC) at 50℉~95℉”...
Does anyone know which manufacturer of lithium battery is being used for the Isata 3 Freedom Edition (2 lithium batteries totaling approximately 620ah)? Wondering if it is Lithionics or another company.
We have a 2023 DX3 bought new and we store it with power so I haven’t used the battery disconnect switch located in the stairwell before now. While unplugged, when I switch it there is a loud clicking coming from the front area of the RV, the lights go off, but the TV, frig and few other things...
We have a button with a battery image in the row of accessory buttons in the center bottom dash on our 2022 Ram, and our salesman can’t tell what it’s for?
Thanks for any help
Hi. Does anyone know the dimensions of the house battery bay on the Isata 5. I know they typically come equipped with 4 100ah lithium batteries (on the Freedom Package). Curious to see how much space the Isata 5 bay offers for potentially other lithium battery configurations (such as switching...
So, I'm new to the solar side of RVing but I just got a new 2024 2608bs in October. After 1 trip I winterized it and left the battery intact and on. I have 2-200W solar panels. The RV is parked with very little sun so I'm probably not getting a lot of charging so I turned off the battery at the...

Hello everyone,
My battery keeps draining even when it’s hooked up to a 30A. All my outlets, fridge and microwave are working, so power is coming in, but inverter or converter aren’t working. Does anyone know how to test these or where to buy them for replacement?
Hey folks, I just got through with a lithium upgrade on our 2019 30DS. In my naivety I thought it would be just swapping the OEM converter and battery in their current location but that was not the case. I searched and didn't find much on converter wire upsizing to support the needed current so...
I have a 2017 Surveyor 251RKS, looking to replace 2 lead acid with 12v 100ah lithium batteries. I have the WFCO 9855 AD 55DC converter. The converter is under the rear refrigerator, That puts the converter 30 plus feet too the batteries on tongue of Surveyor.
At 30 feet, WFCO tells me there...
I have been using a lead acid battery (Interstate 24 Group) that came with my Rockwood 2109s purchased five years ago.
On a recent off-grid camping trip, this Interstate battery would charge up to 12.6/12.7 volts when I used a 2000w generator but the charge would draw down to 12.1/12.2 volts...
