2016 Vengence toyhauler with onan generator. Generator does not seem to charge onboard batteries. I assume that when generator is running the converter is doing its job just like if the camper was plugged into shore power. Is there a switch somewhere?? Also, only one of the ac units will operate...
I have a basic question about charging my Lithium house batteries from 2 sources at the same time. If my batteries are being charged from my chasis alternator at 14.4 Volts while driving and my newly installed 300 Watt solar panels are also charging batteries at 14.4 volts as I drive, will...
One of the options I am looking at for the new Forester 2351le is the roof mounted solar 12v charging system with a second battery.
Has anyone had this option added to their RV? My question is what else do I need to purchase to have the solar system operational?
I have a 2020 f 150 and a 2019 2506 rockwood mini light. With my 2014 f 150 I had to install a relay that ford left in the glove compartment and the charging work fine. The 2020 f 150 appears to have all relays and fuses in place. I had replaced my 12 volt batteries with two six volt and...
Took our new Roo out for its first dry camping trip. I had already noticed that the batteries the dealer included are 2 24DP in parallel. I had never used a dual purpose over deep cycle and noted that the combined RC was only 200 vs. 280 for 2 24DC.
Well, I wasn't too impressed with the...
I'm fairly inexperienced with battery concepts, but have installed dual 6 volt golf cart batteries from Costco, and a Victron battery monitor BMV-712. I plugged in my trailer to shore power to recharge the batteries. After approx 3-4 hours on shore power, I unplugged the trailer, and...
Hello All,
My apologies 1st for the mistake in my writing.
I got a Palomino Solaire 147x...
Came with WFCO 8900 I believe.
I do travel a lot.
In the past 4 years, I change the converter 3 times.
Im now with a Dynamic Progressive to replace the WFCO.
It does work great for almost a year.
Then...
Had posted on another thread, but decided to start my own with a more applicable title.
My '17 Isata 3 Chassis battery does not appear to be charging when the coach is plugged in to AC or the Generator is running. Any ideas?
I searched for Battery related threads back to 2017. By all...
There has been a lot of discussion lately about whether or not tow vehicles will charge the trailer's batteries. What do you think of this test method:
1. Disconnect trailer battery and leave it "rest" for an hour or so. Now would be a good time to open the door on the fridge and let it warm...
We have a new R-pod 191 that has only been used on two trips. On the last trip the USB ports by the front door stopped working (and the light by the ports is off). Ideas?
Is there a secret to charging a phone using the USB charging station beside the Murphy bed? The electrical outlet works, but I can’t get any power through the USB port. Thanks.
This may have been covered previously but I couldn't find the thread. I have an A-IPower 2000 watt generator. One of the items that came with the generator was a cigarette plug with alligator clips so I can charge directly to my battery. I have been hesitant to use it for fear of overcharging...
I need some Battery Charging assistance (2018 Georgetown 369XL). One of my cells was pulling down the bank to 3V, so I have them all out charging individually to see which one is bad. The question is...how do I get systems up and running without the batteries in there?
In this picture, wire 1...
Hi,
I have my 2017 Sunseeker plugged into my home power. The cord lights up with blue light to show the electric cord to the motorhome is working. However, there is no electricity to the house -- lights and AC not working. With generator on, I can get both to work. I checked circuit under...
Any way to tell if my 2016 Rockwood Hardside has a single stage or multistage charging system? I am trying to figure out the best charging routine (as is a typical question). I can just charge before trips or once a month if not used... would prefer to leave it plugged in if it has a...
Hi All,
I have read so many posts about this subject and really have not found all the info I need. I have a 2020 MBS 2401w that I would like to switch out the two crappy group 27 batts that came with it for two BB LiFePO4 batteries. I know my PD4060 has the Li switch on it (I checked and...
Just quick question. If my 2 agm batteries down to 50%, how long does running the propane generator take to get back to 100% assuming clouds and solar not producing well.
I have an isata 3. Also, any idea how much propane would be consumed if that was only load?
I have searched everywhere for a clear answer to this question with no luck. Hence I present the problem to a forum that often helps. Scenario: RV not connected to shore power. Battery requires an external charge. When attaching charger to rv battery, should you disconnect it from the...
Ok. I'm going to purchase my two Sams Club Duracel 6V (GC2) this week. I'm also buying Victron SmartShunt to monitor my battery health. The only thing left is proper care and feeding of the system while camping and when in storage.
I read this thread battery charger recommendation needed...
Sorry if this is too elementary!
I want to know if there is a device I can buy that I can plug into my house current on one end, then plug into the trailer connection that normally goes to my truck to keep the battery at least minimally charged. Don't need it to operate things in the trailer...
My 2005 Cresendo, Freightiner, Cat 350, doesn't charge the house batteries from the engine when in motion and doesn't charge the chassis batteries when on shore power.
I did a lot of testing in the 12 volt compartment and thought I found the White-Rogers solenoid to be bad. I replaced it.
I...
We are taking our greywolf on its first dry camping trip. It still has the 1 small battery they put on it at the time of sale. This weekend I am going to get 2 new batteries for it and a solar powered charger to keep up with the fridge and small draws it will have. Lights , water pump ext.
We...
There is practically zero information from the dealer or Forest River on the solar battery charging system that came installed on our unit. The main question I have is will the charging system automatically change to an AGM mode for charging? The stock battery given with the Alpha Wolf is a 64...
