charging

Hi, I’m a 2020 Navion with 1.5 year old NAPA Lead Acid house batteries that have gone basically flat several times while boondocking around trees because of the excessive load, from fridge with no propane mode, even ‘night mode’. I know this issue has been kicked around a lot, especially where...

Hi, I have a 2023 Forest River Palomina Puma 22RBFQ-2b. We have only had it a couple weeks. We just noticed that the battery keeps dying while plugged into shore power. We got a new battery thinking maybe the one the dealer gave us was bad, but same issue. Everything works for almost 24 hours...

I am towing my Colorado using magnetic brake lights with a flat 4pin adaptor from my 7pin rv plug. It seems to me I should be able to tap into the brown (running lights) wire to access 12 volts and hook directly to my toad battery? Then I only run voltage to the toad battery when I have my...

Hello everyone, My battery keeps draining even when it’s hooked up to a 30A. All my outlets, fridge and microwave are working, so power is coming in, but inverter or converter aren’t working. Does anyone know how to test these or where to buy them for replacement?

I store my 2013 Itasca Sunstar 27N hooked up to shore power and the converter keeps both the chassis and house batteries charged up, usually 13-14 volts. Two weeks ago I noticed the chassis had gone down to 12.0 and the house batteries were 12.7. I had shore power inside the RV, the microwave...

Hello Everyone, I put our 2021 ISATA5 28ss RV into (outside/non-covered) storage in October. Unfortunately, there are no power connections at our storage facility. Before leaving, I turned off the power to the RV in the power bay (red turn switch on right) to reduce parasite draw on batteries...

I recently purchased a 2023 Mercedes Winnebago View 24D, Sept. 2023. My chassis battery goes dead when I'm parked in an RV park and hooked to shore power. I read and read owners manual and found no solution. I thought when plugged into shore power it would keep the house batteries and the...

My 4 house batteries are not charging. I am plugged into a 30 amp outlet. I have 14.37 volts carried through my system to the battery control center. I have checked the battery disconnect switch and it is on, however, I only register .6 volts on the positive battery charging cable. The...

Hello everyone, I have a forest river 2022, 22rbs. I also have my 2021 chevy silverado 1500. I noticed that my battery is not charging with the trickle charge from the 7 pin connector. Normally, when i'm driving, the truck will trickle a small charge to the rv to keep the battery somewhat...

Does the Chassis battery not get charged when plugged into shore power? I have a 2008 Windspirt 36ft. While on shore power I run the two overhead reading lights over the driver's and passenger seat at night to illuminated the front of the coach. And run my Sirius portable radio off the 12v...

I have a 2015 Forrester MBS 2401S and have an issue related to the BIM charging. Quick history: I had discovered a problem with "old style" BIM with separate Trombetta solenoid ( see attached pic ) after I bought my unit used few years ago. CampingWorld determined BIM needing replacing 1st...

Hi. My coach batteries are not charging when I am driving. If a press the emergency switch at the base of the driver's seat, then it charges. So the problem is not the alternator. The batteries also charges when the motorhome is plugged on 120V AC. I suspect a blown fuse or a bad relay but I...

I have a 2015 Winnebago Via, model 25q with new Interstate coach batteries. I first noticed a problem when in an RV park plugged into shore power the batteries ran down overnight when running the furnace. This happened several times and I had to start the engine, let it run for a very few...

I recently purchased a used 2021 Salem hemisphere 29xbhl. The dealer told us that it was prepped for solar, the type that will just keep the battery charged. He also said that a full charged battery could run the RV fridge for about 3 weeks if it wasn't opened and closed (seems unlikely imo) If...

Just curious and this may be a stupid question, but... On a Sunseeker with Ford E450 V10, will the alternator charge the house batteries while driving? I noticed a second red cable on my starting battery and I don't know where it goes to or what it does. Bill Schneider

The USB charging ports at the back of the sofa failed yesterday. anyone experienced this? It doesn't look like the pop-up can be removed easily. Not a high priority but like Roseanne Roseannadanna said "It's always something. If it's not one thing it's another." Gilda Radner.

Have a 2023 34DS with the factory solar system. Would just like to confirm that only the house batteries are charged by the solar and not the chassis battery. Looking to install a Xantrex echo to charge chassis battery while in outside storage with no plug in electric available. Thanks.

Hey all, New to the group here. This may have been covered before and I apologize if I'm reposting, but I couldn't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. According to the web my F250 is not capable of charging my truck camper through the 7 pin. Truck does not have the camper kit. The...

I have a 2004 Minnie 29B and am considering hardwiring a trickle charger that will charge the chassis (engine starter battery) when I am connected to shore power (120 VAC). I would like to connect the 12 VDC side of the trickle charger to the chassis battery side of the Aux Start Solenoid. This...

Hello all. New to the site. The short story is I'm getting divorced and found a personal RV hook-up site (not an easy task). I was trying to be '"economical" and found a 2008 Palomino Puma 30dbss. Decent shape but has some issues. One of the issues is a charging issue. While trying to...

Hello all you very smart people..... I'm looking at upgrading my house batteries to lithium but don't know if the standard house battery charger will work with a lithium setup. So before I actually start with the new installation, I thought it wise to access the collective wisdom of the Minnie...
