Last fall, I connected our 2015 Roo 21SS to shore power in a Mi State Park.
When I entered the trailer, I noticed that the lights on the TV & MW, my 'tell tales' for properly connected shore power, weren't on. I checked the converter panel and saw that a breaker had tripped. I disconnected the...
Hi all
We purchased a used 2016 Shasta Revere 33TS. The battery was bad in it and had to be replaced as it was not maintaining a charge. We replaced the battery however we seem to have an issue with the 12v system. I have checked the battery with a multimeter and it is fully charged however...
Just opened up the 5th wheel for the first time this spring, connected up the fully charged batteries (2X6V) and nothing on the 12V system works except the main slide. No power to the panel. All fuses that I can see/find were checked carefully and are good.
Is it possible the 12V power goes to...
I've been developing an electric system for my new-to-me Surveyor, the primary mission for which will be boondocking. I currently have 2 GC2 batteries being charged by 400W of solar panels through a 40A MPPT charger. My bench testing indicates that this is enough solar to fully recharge from a...
Hi, we are new to RV stuff and struggling to get this working.
While it's hooked up to shore power everything works fine. Once we unplug from the wall the 110v plugs seem to work but nothing 12v like lights, the ceiling fan, none of that works. What else should we check?
We were last hooked...
Hello all,
Looking for some help on if adding a 12v 0n/off battery disconnect switch would be an issue. See attached diagram.
The reason for adding this is to have the engine and coach batteries connected to be able to charge with solar when the coach is stored and the main disconnect off.
Hello all,
I wanted to hear what those with converted freezers (to fridge with thermostat control) have to say about their overall efficiency. It's difficult to find information on what those numbers translate to when calculating your loads into kWh.
We are trying to source our Refrigerator...
Hello All - hoping I could borrow upon anyone's knowledge of the DC wiring for the 2020 MBS 2400B Sunseeker.....or similar....
We have been doing more and more boondocking which puts limitations on our remote working (We have to have our laptops, 3 screens, and internet up 100%) so I am...
I have the factory Go Power 100w solar install, but when I push the AC button on the panel to enable the inverter I still don't get AC... only if the generator is running. 12v switch is on, display lit on the GP-PWM-30-UL solar controller, batteries at 100% and the indicator lights up saying...
So I have another post about trying to troubleshoot my fridge I've got an idea of checking the inline fuse that has to be accessed from the outside I know how to disconnect it from power out here but it's kind of Dusty and I can't read how do I disconnect it from the 12 volt battery before I...
We have been in our 2022 Salem 270 for a couple weeks now. The panel shows the single house battery dipping down to 11v or so overnight but within an hour or so after the sun rises it is back to 13.6v and fully charged.
My question is while we are camped here in FL and plugged in to 30 amp...
2021 Forest River Sunseeker 2500TS
Please see attached photo.
Can someone decipher two of the fuse identifiers on the 12VDC branch circuits in my PD4060K Power Control Center?
Number 1 - AC (is this the power to the thermostat)
Number 6 - no clue...
Could have pulled the fuses and see what...
My one AC is inefficient for my 28’ class A. I have limited roof space( one solar panel and Dish dome up there already.) I was just reading about the Rec Pro 12v AC and it looked impressive. They aren’t cheap but I like the idea of using it while boondocking, driving without having to run the...
I have a Forester 2371TS with the Onan QG 2500 LP generator.
Getting ready for a trip and checking systems and the Generator has no 12V power anywhere. The switch in the control panel has no power, the generator has no 12V at the generator either.
I have checked the large breaker in the...
I have a 2002 Chaparral 26RLS. While on our last trip a couple weeks ago I started hearing a disconcerting noise from the overhead AC unit. The thermostat was set to OFF. The noise is intermittent and sounds like a contactor making/breaking. So I turned off the breaker for the AC/furnace. Still...
Today I was going to move the camper closer to the house to get ready for an upcoming trip so I hooked the battery up, turned on the disconnect, pushed the button to raise the tongue and nothing happened. I checked battery voltage cleaned terminals and still nothing. I unmounted the battery...
I have a 2023 Forest River Forester 2401T with a GE GPV10 12 volt refrigerator that I took to the shop after melting ice cream and several occasions. Response I got back from dealer is, they found nothing wrong with refrigerator, it is not a residential refrigerator, and it is pretty much the...
Photo attached below. It's the one in the storage bay next to the battery bay. There's also one in the bedroom above the bed.
Will be in a cool spot for a while without hookups and would like to run a small TV and fan off a 12V inverter for short periods of time. I want to ensure that these 12V...
Hello, I purchases a used 2018 golfstream 268 BH. Everything has worked great until recently when the AC died on a 100 degree day in roma texas. I went to diagnose the system and discovered that the previous owner bypassed the control box and built there own set up to run everything. Tying to...
The Magic Chef 12V fridge in my Rockwood Minilite (2022, 2516S) goes from standby to cooling mode whenever the power to the trailer is cycled. The result is that the fridge could be running for long periods of time when I want it to be off or in standby. I can force it off my pulling the 12V...
My Everchill 12V refrigerator stays between 32-35 degrees no problem. But I have noticed that the freezer goes from -3 to 30 degrees especially in the morning. When I check the freezer, the fan is not running and the temp is at 30 degrees. Is this a defrost mode and has anyone else experienced...
Just bought our RV in December. Will be using for full time living. Connected to shore power. I've read the 'manual' front to back.. the grammar and spelling made my eyes cross and it also provided no good info.
Fridge worked when we were purchasing. Fridge worked when we got home and tested...
We have a 2022 Forest River Sunseeker 2860DS that has a Magic Chef 12v refrigerator. It operates only on 12v batteries and not propane or electric. It is Model # WD-282FWDC. The solar panel on the roof keeps the 12v coach batteries charged even in storage. We noticed on our second trip that...
