If I am charging with a portable solar panel do I need to have the battery disconnect on or off. I had it off and came back in two weeks and both batteries were dead. We have a 2018 forester mh I used the solar connect on the outside and perhaps that is the problem. I’m going to also try...

I have a 2016 Rockwood HW316TH that came with a standard deep cycle battery. This battery is now junk. Can I replace the battery with an AGM and still use the internal charging system of the camper? Thanks

Apologies for the n00b question, this is our first RV. We just bought a 2017 Sunseeker 3050S. I want to be able to charge while at home (or somewhere that only has a standard house 15amp circuit). I was thinking of purchasing 2x50ft 10/3 extension cords (only using both if I have to), a 15amp...

Hi all, I've had my Hyperlite XLR 27HFS in storage for over 2 years and just recently got it out to camp in. I had a dead battery when I arrived and started setting everything up, which I replaced given the age of the current battery. Everything seemed to work just fine... until I noticed the...

I have a 2019 Salem Cruise lite. I'll be removing my 2 propane tanks and bettery for winter. I'll be storing them in my basement. Question:Should I charge my battery? Some of my friends say,"keep battery off the cement floor". I have a Shoemacher Instant Power. Is this sufficient? Thanks...

I realize that I can recharge my batteries in my TT with shore power going through the WFCO converter/charger. I could run my generator and plug the TT's shore power cable into the generator. Then the generator would be powering the WFCO converter/charger. I could run the output from a solar...
