I have a 2017 Isata 3. Northern Wisconsin...I put my trickle charger onto the "live" port on lower dash to feed the Engine battery. To provide power to the charger I have it plugged into the wall socket. My lithium batteries are stored inside the garage. I have the camper hooked up as normal to...

I just removed my lead acid battery for winter storage; currently stored in heated basement (~60F) and plan to keep it there for the winter (4-5 months). Question: what is best course of action to keep it maintained for the winter? Hooking up to battery charger once/month for a few hours OR...

I have a 2021 Coachmen Sprots Coach with a single solar panel on the roof. I would like to find out if it was wired from the factory to charge both my 6v house and my 12v starting batteries. Also if they put a charging control to stop charging when batteries are at full charge. Any help would be...

I’ve read in various forums that it’s better to use a battery trickle charger than to keep the trailer plugged into the grid/house all the time. I’m wondering if the solar port on the driver’s side of my 2024 E19 trailer (see pic) can be used to plug in my trickle charger? I’m guessing not, but...

Hello everyone, This morning I stated my genny to top up my house batteries, only to realize the batteries were not being replenished. The battery indicator indicated only 1/3 and remained there the entire time. Since the rig is in temporary storage, we're leaving in 2 weeks for warmer skiees...

Where is the converter in my Coachmen 2017 240fs motorhome? I am trying to check the electrical converter specs before I replace the batteries with LiFePO4 batteries. My other question is, can I use the onan generator to charge the LiFePO4 batteries without adding an MPPT controller? It been...

I replaced my lead acid battery with two 100 amp lithium's. I ran them down to about 50% and charged them back to 100% using a 20amp lithium charger. Then I ran them down again to about $40% and this time I just plugged in the trailer and left it alone. After two days the batteries are back to...

Hello all, Looks like the solar panel is not charging the battery. Controller shows 0v on the pannel and no charging activities. Is there a troubleshooting procedure?

so we have been dry camping for about a week now. I had noticed the invertor not staying on to charge the batteries. when we start out on board generator it sometimes comes on and charges the batteries and shows 4 lights for a bit then will stop before they are fully charged and will go to 2-3...

Help 😊… I recently purchased a Palomino 8801 Hard side truck camper. The issue I’m having is that the camper batteries will not charge when traveling. I checked the connection on the truck and at the end of the plug, and I’m getting power to the plug when the truck is running, but nothing...

My microwave just powered itself off while cooking a week ago and a while later it just came back on. No breakers tripped and the AC was still on. It did the same thing today and I determined it was because the converter was on and charging the batteries at around 50A. After I flipped the...

Starting this Spring the battery is not getting charged and even when charged externally and installed no power is getting to the camper. It is a 2007 19 foot Wildwood. Any help on whether there is a fuse between the battery and the internal converter.

Long time reader, new poster to these forums, first time Class C owner. Have searched the forums for specific information but haven't found what I needed as of yet. Several trips ago my Leprechaun started beeping after a few hours on the road, apparently the noise was coming from the...

Have a 2017 Forest River Vibe 21FBS. Earlier this summer the batteries stopped charging when using my Generator. Genset is a 4000 watt Pulsar with a 30 AMP connector that I connect the camper to using the 30 AMP cord on the camper. Have used this setup for several years without problem. What I...

I have a 12 volt charging station in the bedroom, factory installed. I would like to add another in the galley or entertainment center. But I am having trouble figuring out where to tap into powere and ground. The best would be to add another breaker and route new wire. But I would like a...

My 2023 MiniLite with WFCO converter has changed over to the lithium mode to support two 100 amp hour batteries but the charge amps are about 12-16 amps (likely wire size restricted) which takes a while on shore power to recharge my batteries-but does eventually charge to 100%. I also have a dc...

Hi all, I have a new to me 2014 rockwood mini lite 2306. The problem I’m having is the battery is not charging on shore power. Battery charges when being towed. I checked the breakers and fuses. When I turn the breaker for the converter off and turn it back on, I hear the converter fan kick on...

Hi, Might be a stupid question but can anyone tell me if the house batteries are supposed to recharge when my Isata 3 Mercedes engine is running? Thanks, Chris

Hello another newbie question that I have no doubt can be answered by the many folks on here that are more knowledgeable about this trailer than I am. We have a new 2024 Geo Pro 20 BHS. Still trying to get up to speed on all the trailer systems. One thing that is not clear yet is how my...

I am replacing the original flooded lead acid batteries in my 2022 Coachmen Leprechaun 319MB with LiFePO4 batteries. I will likely eventually replace the OEM charging system from the alternator/chassis battery with an aftermarket dc-to-dc charger that is designed to work with LiFePO4 batteries...

Hello, We have a 2023 Leprechaun 230FS Ford E450 chassis that is not charging the house batteries when the engine is running. After checking terminals I found that there is no juice going to the yellow/black wire on the solenoid in the photo. I jumped the house batteries to fire the generator up...

Hi everyone -- I have a Dynamax Isata 3 24FW 2023 equipped with 2 lithium batteries and a solar panel. I am trying to understand if my solar panel is charging my batteries. From what I can see, it doesn't looks like and my RV dealer is totally useless answering this basic question... Is there...
