charging

So while my coach sits waiting to see if Ram wants to fix it I have it plugged in to ensure the batteries stay charged. I noticed today that the batteries are no longer charging on AC. Solar shows it's charging but the batteries are draining, I think that is a battery issue since they don't hold...

Getting ready to start towing the Jeep Wrangler 2013. Bought a rvi3brake and will be running it straight off the Jeep battery. My question is-can I run a charge wire straight from the hot pin on mh to the battery or do I have to run it through a trickle charger? Also, will I have to ground...

I am contemplating installing a Continuous Duty Solenoid and appropriate wiring so I can charge the trailer battery off the TV while driving. The wiring gauge in the 7-way plug is too light to accomplish much. I don't know how to size the wire gauge from the solenoid unit back to the rear of...

Too many new terms getting me twisted up so I want to make sure I've got a general idea of how long I'll have to run the generator each day. From the stickied thread if I run the furnace for say 4 hours a night I'll burn approximately 28 amps. The fridge 24 hours, another 28. Water pump and...

Hello, Have a 2002 Flagstaff for a few years now and am still learning so forgive me if this question seems silly. I just put my group24 battery back into my camper after storing it inside for the winter. Should I charge it with an automotive battery charger or is plugging the camper in to shore...

Hi All, We just picked up a 2018 minilite 2306 and i would like to charge ipads and phones in the trailer while dry camping. I tried plugging in an iphone and ipad into the USB port next to our bed and it would not charge the Ipad and very slowly charged the iphone. Do i need an inverter to...

Where is the AC suction port on a 2012 Mirada 32DS so I can recharge the system?

I have a 2018 Rockwood Mini Lite 2509 S with a Zamp Solar Pre-wire pug-in. Can someone tell me how, and what I would need, to connect my Harbor Freight Thunderbolt Solar 100 Watt Solar Kit to this Pre-Wire plug-in? An adaptor, or, is this kit a reverse polarity connection like the Zamp units (So...

My husband and I know very little about electrical and haven’t owned an RV for a very long time. We recently purchased a 2018 Dynamax Force to use at the racetrack. This week while in Florida, the batteries would not charge via generator, 110 plug or solar collectors. We didn’t run the...

I bought my first popup this year a 2008 Rockwood HW276. My question is does it charge the batts when hooked to ac power?

Hey everyone! We recently bought a 2016 Force HD and are still getting acquainted with all the systems. I drove it home and noticed the battery charge readout on the inverter was reading below 12 V. Does anyone know if the Force series has a system to allow the alternator to charge the cabin...

Hey everyone, I recently got a new (to me) 2016 Dynamax Force HD. The cabin batteries are too low to crank the generator and I don't have a 50 AMP plug at my house yet. Can I use a typical 12V car battery charger to re-charge the cabin batteries? Of course I'd have the 'store'/battery...

I know I need to charge my battery periodically throughout the storage months. My Roo is in my backyard and capable of plugging into a normal outlet via the usual 30a to 20a adapter. If I plug my camper in, the converter should charge the battery, correct? This would be the easiest way of...

Hello. Quick question. I have purchased a generator (A-iPower 2000W) for my 2017 Rockwood 2304DS. Am I better off using the battery charger connection on the generator and going directly to the house batteries or is it better to connect the trailer to the generator and let the internal...

I have a Ryobi 2300w inverter generator to charge my 2x6v trailer batteries. I was going to do it by using a 30A to 120v dogbone and go through the onboard power cord that way. Is there a more efficient way to charge the batteries (not to use A/C or microwave. Just to charge the batteries.) If I...

My 12 volt house battery will only charge to 11.8 V dc in my REV 24 RB. I have a WFCO Ultra Distribution Center WF-8900 Series Converter. The 12 volt deep cycle battery is six months old. My converter manual says I should get 13.6 V dc output from the converter, but I only get 12.5 V dc output...

I have contacted 4 Ford dealers regarding if my 2017 F250 with tow package should charge my battery in the RV when plugged into the 7 point plug. One dealer said check Google! Any thoughts.

Hello, I’m sure this has been answered before but my search didn’t find the answer. I have a 2014 Coachmen Concord, are the house batteries suppose to charge when connected to shore power? They aren’t and I am not sure why. I bought it used and if not for this and other forums help I wouldn’t...

When on shore power or gen, does the system also charge the truck battery or do you need this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016G8RT8/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
