charging

Does the power coming from your truck charge the rv battery while traveling down the highway?

Does anyone know where the solar charging controller is typically located on this model or similar models? I have manuals for a MeTer MT-1 charging meter which is located at the entry door to the coach and a Dual Solar Charging Controller which I have been in able to locate anywhere inside the...

Hello. A call for help. 2020 Isata 3. Our battery is not charging in any way (solar, generator or shore power). It is a Poweroad PLRC-100 Lithium, less than two years old. Is there a fuse or relay that might have blown? Rather urgent as we are going off grid.

I have a 2023 Sunseeker Classic 3010 on a E-450 chassis I have a question regarding battery charging -- both chassis and house batteries and the generator. I know the chassis battery is charged by the engine alternator. 1. Does the alternator charge the house battery while driving/ engine...

We just got our new Geo Pro with 2 x 190w solar panels. It's been interesting to watch the solar controller register the day's solar power "harvest" in volts and amps. But with a trip a few weeks away, is it really best just to shut it all down in the meantime? And, is this best done by turning...

Hi all, I just bought a new 2022 IBEX 19QBS. It has a GoPower! 180watt solar panel on the roof and a 10amp GoPower! solar controller. I want to upgrade the solar as it has a 12 volt fridge which will be a constant draw on the batteries. I am thinking of adding the GoPower! expansion pack with...

I have a 2019. NoBo, I have two 12 V batteries. I added the second battery for Boon-docking. When I store at my house, I’m plugged into electric, will it hurt the batteries or overcharge the batteries? Or, should I isolate the batteries and only charge them once in a while?

Referencing this post: https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f16/where-to-plug-in-solar-if-we-install-ourselves-240222.html I know this is an old post but, much like a traveler that is looking at a path someone else created, I'd like to add to this trail with more thorns and brush. A little...

Can I leave my battery hooked up to my TT while I put a charge on it using my battery charger? I know there are different ways but this is easiest for me under the circumstances. Thanks, Mike

We have the 2021 Isata 5 30 FW with 400 amp of Lithium batteries and 800 watts of solar panels. We are currently on a short boondocking trip and today we realized during our stay that the solar panels are not charging the batteries at all. The solar controller however shows that the panels are...

I have a 2022 Columbus 384RK which I purchased new in April of 2022. My tow vehicle is a 2020 Chevy 3500HD Duramax dually. My vehicle is not keeping my house batteries charged while driving. Looking at the voltage readout on my OneControl phone app while driving I saw the voltage changing...

Hello: We are owners of a new 2022 FR FSX178 with the pre-installed and wired 190W Solar panel, GoPower GP-PWM-30-SQ SCC and the WFCO WF-8735-PB Power Center. My question is in regards as to what charges the trailer's SLA battery- is it just the solar system or will it automatically switch...

I have a WFCO 8735-P power panel in my 2021 forest River Salem. Converter does not appear to be charging the batteries. Panel fuses are ok. Converter fan runs but when I am plugged into shore power my batteries are not charging. Batteries connected properly and charge heat from solar. Are...

I am sure this has been asked but I can’t find the answer through my searches. When not plugged into shore power and using a generator should I charge my batteries with my external battery charger or just plug the trailer plug into the generator. Which will charge the battery faster? I also...

I have a 2009 Forest River Sunseeker 2450CD Motorhome. Last couple times out it seems to have developed a wierd issue that has the local dealerships/RV Service guys stumped, without an undetermined number of hours at $150/hr diagnostics. Not sure I want to throw money on parts department...

I’m looking at getting an AGM battery for my 2008 Rockwood Signature Ultra Light 8314SS TT. Is the charging system compatible for charging an AGM battery?

Hello, My coach batteries are not charging when I run my generator, but they charge when the engine runs. I checked breakers by the battery, is there one by the generator? I have a Sunseeker LE 2850 Class C. Any ideas?

My question. We recently installed 420 ah of lithium batteries. The batteries are always charged 100% Is it a good idea to turn the disconnect off when plugged into shore power for week long stays? Obviously the converter can handle all the 12 volt stuff! Is there such a thing as too...

Got a brand new Rockwood 1910ESP on Friday and went camping this weekend. Battery is not charging on shore power, only from solar and I think from tow vehicle. Looked in the power center and battery fuse location is labeled for 30 amp, but has a 40 amp fuse. Reverse polarity fuse is not even...

House battery not charging while engine is on what do I look for to fix the problem

I have a 2020 forest river class C. Mercedes engine and sprinter chassis. I need help with a charging line from the RV to the toad. the toad battery goes dead on it a long trips.

I added a battery cut off switch witch is working fine. Do you leave it on or off while traveling to the place your camping and on the way back home to charge it? Mike

So with newer electronics requiring different USB connectors and power for quickest charges, I'm trying to assess my 4-port 12v USB hub that came with my 5-year-old Class C. For instance, I keep several 10,000 nAh rechargeable battery fans that require a 5W outlet to properly charge. We have...
