charging

Not on the short term plan, but thinking about it. I saw a pic of a SmartCar as sorta toad. It was on a hitch mounted platform and I thought that was intriguing. But that isn’t the question. The new SmartCars are electric cars. They charge off 240v at 32 amps in three hours or 120v at 10 amps...

I’m presently plugged into 30 amps campground. All the A.C. electrical components work fine, and my Progressive Industries power/surge unit shows all well on both legs at 120volts. Television, electric water heater, microwave and anything plugged into our outlets works fine. However, my 2...

Hello, I’ve been following with interest OldBob’s thread “Batteries not Charging on Shore Power,” because I just discovered I have the same problem on my ’07 385rlts. I bought it used in 2012, but it had almost zero prior usage, (plastic still covering carpeting) and I have never used it...

I've had this problem on previous trailers and have always been able to find the problem fairly quickly, but not this time. Here's my problem: We are between camping trips and our Rockwood Ultra V 2715vs is parked on our yard plugged into shore power. We have two 6v Trojan T105s. While...

On our first trip with our new champion 3100 watt generator, and we are having issues trying to charge/use our cell phones with the generator plugged into the camper. When we plug a call phone into any of the camper outlets the cell phone goes all wonky as my girlfriend would say. Different apps...

Can I damage my AGM batteries if I charge direct off my vehicle with jumper leads? I only have solar and a "not so quiet" generator. Can I connect jumpers to my vehicle and charge that way as an idling vehicle is much quieter. I need to get a full charge into them once and for all.

Have been on the road for three months and the last three weeks this has come up. We park the 2011 Georgetown somewhere with no shore power. It's locked up and everything is turned off, as far as we know. We go away for a day or three and when we come back, the battery is dead. The chassis...

I have a 2017 Rockwood 2304DS. When I turn off the master electrical to the trailer by using the plastic key below the battery, will the battery still be charged when I plug into shore power? In other words, do I need to leave electric power to the trailer "on" during trailer storage when I...

We have a 2018 Wildwood 171RBXL TT. Does the battery recharge when connected to the TV or 110v or do I have to manually charge it?

I have a 2018 Rockwood Minilite 2109s. It has a device charging station consisting of a 12 volt cigarette lighter type plug and two USB charging ports for charging computers and cell phones. The radio/dvd player also has a USB charging port that says 5 volts. All three USB charging ports have...

Hi All, I know the engine alternator will charge the house batteries when the battery disconect switch is in the ON position, but will/should it charge the batteries house when the switch is in the OFF position? I would think not but mine is charging when in the OFF position. Thanks Skip

Ok... this is a total noob question: Do my batteries charge while driving? I know they charge off the generator, but are they tied to the chassis charging system, too? Yes, I've looked at my manuals. I even have my Freelander's electrical schematics from the factory. Still can't see a straight...

sorry if this is the 1000th time been asked. If I use a battery charger attached to my batteries and plugged into my generator, will this charge the batteries quicker / better than if the generator is plugged into the camper? Yamaha 2000 generator, 2017 Solaire camper. thank you

My batteries are not charging when plugged into shore power or using the generator. They will charge when I hook up the charger directly.

For you experienced boondockers running g a generator which of the following ways is the best way to charge your batteries: Charge off the house trickle charger when hoojed up to the genny, Use the genny's 12 volt connection , Or Plug in a portable battery charger to the genny? When I say...

After being in a RV Park with low voltage(108-105) the 50 Amp park breaker tripped several times. After getting on the road noticed the engine alternator was not charging the house batteries. Replaced isolator/solenoid--did not fix--isolator gets very hot with engine running. Have checked all...

Once again have e 2018 Puma 351THSS and seems like the battery never gets charged. If I look at the control panel it says full charge but when disconnected from the truck I have no lights and can't lift or lower front or back jacks. On the power panel I can change the mode of the charging but...

Hi, my battery won’t charge while hooked up to tow vehicle or generator at camp. I have changed the solid breakers on the frame but still no power to positive battery leads. I checked with a volt meter. What charges the battery and where is it located on my 2011 Windjammer 3001W Thank you. My...

How do I know if my House Batteries are charging while driving? The reason I ask: Prior to taking a trip this past weekend I connected to shore power for some hours and disconnected later. After disconnect I checked my Battery level using the button on the wall. All the leds were on...

I have a 2014 351 DS. I don't understand why, but my house and coach batteries are not being charged while the RV is plugged into shore power. Does anyone have a suggestion of a fuse or relay that I could check?

I have a 2015 Class C Forester. Simple question- if I have the coach plugged in to AC but the master electrical switch is rotated to the OFF position, does the converter still charge the coach batteries? Or does the master interrupt that circuit as well? Thanks, Russ

Quick question. Should being plugged in charge house batteries and starting batteries on a 2017 Isata5? Just house batteries?

Hello all, Does anyone know if the HW27KS is setup to charge the main battery off the 7 pin from the TV's electrical system? My 2005 Powerstroke is very sensitive to power issues and I dont want to blow the FICM. Thanks Rich

Our new Ford F350 won’t charge the truck camper battery! Has anyone heard of any problems with late model Ford trucks not sending power back through the trailer hitch’s seven-pin connector to charge the truck camper’s house battery? I’m pretty sure it isn’t my Truck Camper, but is something in...

I have had the camper stored all winter with it plugged into shore power to keep it all charged up and ready to go. About a week ago the LP/CO2 detector started going off so I opened the camper and reset it. It went off again in about 15 minutes so I pulled the fuse and ordered a new one. Since...
