    Battery Compartment Failure

    Through dumb luck, I avoided a likely catastrophe. I was discussing getting new coach batteries with my nephew. For no good reason, I took him over to my 2022 Vista 31B to show him the batteries. The minute I opened up the compartment, I felt like I got punched in the gut. The tray holding...

    2016 ERA 70C Battery Charging Issue

    I am new to the ERA RV. I had issues with my battery - it was down to 7 volts. Had it checked and replaced. Seemed fine - charging when the engine is running. But we are camping now and the battery level keeps going down. I don’t think the converter is charging it while connected to SP. I...

    No power on battery

    If you have no 12v Power from the battery and the battery isn't charging, check the 12v umbilical box near the tongue behind the battery. It's very crowded in there but I found the negative ground battery terminal wire connected to a bolt at the very back of the box had pulled out of the crimp...

    Dead battery issue in new trailer, typical current draw?

    New 24 Micro Minnie 2108FBS Battery will not hold a charge for more than 2-3 days. I confirmed my truck is charging it while connected, the converter is charging with shore power connected and the battery switch is turned off while parked. Everything inside works as it should, nothing is left...

    2014 ish Journey/Meridian Battery Compartment

    Does anyone have a picture of their battery compartment WITHOUT the batteries in it? I am approaching coach battery replacement time and attempting to figure out what will fit other than the Group 31 AGM. I am looking at upgrading to LiFePo unfortunately you can only use 4 of those in parallel...

    Battery and/or Charger and/or Transfer Switch Faults

    As our ‘24 DX3 had been sitting for a month, over the weekend I went to my storage site to check on things, start the engine, run the generator, etc. I was surprised to see the lithium battery state of charge was down to 54%, even though I keep plugged in to 110V when not in use. While...

    Shore Power, no battery

    I have a new Progressive Dynamics PD4655V for my Lithium battery. Can I remove the battery for the winter and leave the Shore power plugged in, or might that wreck the power controller? We are in Canada, freezing conditions.

    wolf pup 15SW WF-8955 converter and LiFePo4 battery

    I have a Wolf Pup 15SW. The lead acid battery was under the jack knife sofa. I changed it to 100ah LiFePo4. I wondered if the WF-8955 converter would charge it and it seemed to when trailer hot and ground were connected directly to the battery. But then I put added a 200w solar panel, 30 amp pwm...

    On the road - 2022 Travato 59K battery not charging

    On a road trip with my 2022 59K and my house battery stopped charging. It doesn't charge from the alternator or shore power -- I haven't fully tested solar or generator charging. The battery boost switch does increase the voltage read on the battery status panel so I think that means the...

    Fridge question

    Hi all, I’m having issues with my norcold fridge in my 2022 greyhawk. When we boondock, we run the fridge on propane with no issues. The problem occurs at night and into the morning. A red light flashes 8 times then stops and repeats. The light in the fridge still works but the light on the...

    Battery Question

    On my 2022 DynaQuest XL 3801TS when I'm driving and on the inverter, the Victron monitor usually shows that the State of Charge drops from 100% to a lower percentage. Then when I plug into shore power the State of Charge climbs back to 100% after a few hours. On my recent trip after two hours...

    Battery disconnect switch

    Never fully understood what this was used for, and now have a pre-storage question. Before taking the 2606WS to the storage facility, I took the batteries out to store and keep them charged at home. Then I went to attach the trailer to the tow vehicle and found I couldn't use the jack to...

    12 Battery will not charge

    I have a 2013 Forrest River Sandpiper. A few days ago there was a short in the box on the pole where I plug up AC power. When we plugged the new 220 cable into the power supply it seemed as if everything was working fine. Then a little while into the day we noticed the lights getting dimmer...

    Solar not charging battery after breakaway pulled out

    Hi. 2108DS Micro Minnie Towable. Breakaway cable inadvertantly pulled out and put back in, tight, within a couple minutes. Battery is okay but charging from the rooftop solar panel is kaput. Checked the solar controller and it showed that charge was coming from the rooftop solar and showed...

    Which battery terminal grounds to the frame?

    Could someone please assist with a battery wiring issue? I have a 2007 Cougar 304S and someone stole my battery. I replaced it with a pair which I wired in parallel, and I think I may have gotten the ground backwards. There's a label on the trailer frame that says "Battery hookup: (+) Pos to...

    Battery issue, not mine.

    The trailer in question is a Keystone Hideout 176LHS, date on side sticker is 8/1/2019, so this is probably a 2020 model. Single axle, bunks in the rear, main bed in front, East-West model. First off, the camper is not mine. I am currently serving as a "camp host" at a Louisiana State...

    Failed battery platform

    After 8000 miles, the platform holding my original battery failed on one side due to the rivets breaking. This caused it to fall onto the second battery I had installed underneath it. Luckily, it fell on the side opposite the terminals. Otherwise, I'd have had a major short, or worse, a fire...

    This is actually a request to help my sister who is trying to keep her 2019 Isata 3 batteries charged while her power is out near Asheville NC. She has only had the MH for a few months and decided to replace the coach batteries with LiFePO4 batteries and added an additional 100W solar panel...
