    What do I do with the battery while storing?

    So, I'm new to the solar side of RVing but I just got a new 2024 2608bs in October. After 1 trip I winterized it and left the battery intact and on. I have 2-200W solar panels. The RV is parked with very little sun so I'm probably not getting a lot of charging so I turned off the battery at the...

I searched and didn't find much on converter wire upsizing to support the needed current so...

    Battery Puzzler

    I have been using a lead acid battery (Interstate 24 Group) that came with my Rockwood 2109s purchased five years ago. On a recent off-grid camping trip, this Interstate battery would charge up to 12.6/12.7 volts when I used a 2000w generator but the charge would draw down to 12.1/12.2 volts...

    We were gone over the holidays and it snowed and then got rather cold, and the solar controller is giving an error code indicating an essentially dead battery (oops...wasn't around to clear the panel). The GoPower tech said I could cover the solar panel (cutting off any electricity being sent...

    Mystery Switch (Battery Boost switch)

    There is a switch on the bottom of the driver's seat of my 2000 FR Sunseeker with the Ford E450 V 10 chassis (See attached photo). I have no idea what it is or what it is for or how to use it. When I pressed it there was a definite electrical sound in the motorhome. Any solutions?
