    Plugged into Shore Power and batteries not charging. What?

    I came back to camp tonight to find my FR3 without house power. I’m plugged into 50 amp shore power but the house batteries are dead. Started the chassis and power came back on but batteries are not charging from shore power. Any suggestions?

    charging 6v GC batteries

    Just bought two 6 volt golf cart batteries to replace the single 12v OEM battery that came with our TT. I am planning on connecting them in series and then charging with a "regular" 12 volt 2/10 amp car battery charger. But before I "charge off" any comments on how best to charge them? Also what...

    Bedroom charging dock

    So I recently discovered what this is for after a bunch of searching. The dealer had no idea what it was for. BUT… knowing now that this is a unique charging dock for a specific Bluetooth speaker, was this speaker to be included with the RV? Or is this just an added “feature” that I’m...

    Circuit breaker -charging shorted

    My LT18 #5—15amp circuit breaker has 2 leads to it. One is frig and the other is charging. It keeps tripping and I isolated it to the charging side. Frig is fine. The black wire to this breaker “charging” runs out of the power converter into a harness then into a wall cavity between my bath and...

    I think my 5er battery charging truck when not running

    Well, today I finally looked at my Victron app and saw a 4 amp draw on the battery while parked. That was odd since nothing was on in the trailer except the gas detector thingy. So I unplugged the 7 pin connector and voila! the draw went away. I have LFP batteries in the trailer and they read...

    Options for LIFePO4 Charging in Sabre 36BHQ

    I've been doing some troubleshooting on my existing factory 1000W WFCO inverter as it won't run the factory Hisense refer, which works fine on shore power. That troubleshooting was detailed in a different thread, but I'm about 95% sure it's toast and I will likely replace it along with my...

    6 days into a 6 week trip and my solar system won't charge consistently. On a recent 12 day trip, the refrigerator and freezer held temperature the entire trip.

    Maybe an odd idea but EV Charging stations

    So I have a new trailer which has 800W of solar, 400 on the roof and 2-200W solar suitcases I can plug into the back. I did buy a Firman 1600W generator as backup as my rig does not use any propane. The gen is giving me some trouble it fires up and runs but then goes down to idle even after I...

We have 800W of solar and 400AH of lithium batteries and a Victron battery monitor. The camp side was just...

    Charging Chassis Battery from Solar

    I've confirmed the solar panels only charge the house batteries I'd like to charge the chassis battery as well. It seems (if there is a common ground) that all one would need to do is run a wire from the positive of the house batteries to the positive of the chassis battery. Use say a 10 A...
