Default Trip to the Southwest in My 2206t

I've been planning this trip for the better part of this year. Bought my 2206T just for this trip.we have two weeks of PTO that we are using, but are working remote two weeks to travel out there and two weeks to travel back. Total trip time is a month and a half.

Major points of interest are: Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, Roswell, Petrified Forest, Meteor Crater, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods and Mesa Verde.

The trip started on the evening of the 27th. We drove from Jacksonville, FL to just outside of Pensacola where we bedded down for the night. Then on Saturday morning we drove to see the USS Alabama. Then we were off to Baton Rouge,LA where we moochdocked at my Uncle's place for the week while we worked Monday thru Friday. Didn't have much time to see anything, but did take the opportunity to visit with family. On the evening of the 4th, Friday, we took off again headed for Shreveport to have breakfast with more famiky. We pulled into a Crackerbarrel at about 2am. We ran into our first problem, the top section wouldn't lift. There was no DC power. Fuses checked out. But we were tired and decided to sleep in the truck. The next morning we headed over to family and I pulled out the generator to power the trailer. I was able to lift the top section. Everything looked good. Had breakfast and then headed to Scurry,TX to moochdock this week at a friend's house.

We are set up to work this week. I plan on testing the battery as I suspect it it the culprit.This battery is brand new, lifepo4. I'll update as soon as I test it.

You have a 30A fuse in your tow vehicle that's in its trailer charging circuit. Probably up in the engine compartment fuse box now. I've found that fuse easily blows.
