Hi all; glad to have found this site.
I just brought home a 2023 Transcend Xplor 240ML on Friday.
Really nice trailer and great floor plan for what I need.
This weekend I've been getting to know it, learned how to level it etc; 1st time travel trailer owner.
I've got a couple questions.
First, the solar charger. The battery was pretty low from being at the dealer and the RV show last weekend. I put it on a charge yesterday, 2 amp, 8 hours. The panel inside now says full.
The Solar Charger doesn't seem to be doing anything. According to the owners manual it should have a green LED lit up when it's charging. Nothing is lit up. During the walk thru, the dealer said "you'll never have to worry about the solar charger, it will maintain the battery". So does it shut off when there is no need for a charge? I can't find an on-off switch or breaker for it?
Also, the door, this morning when I went to open it, it was stuck. It had been sitting in the sun for a couple hours and I am thinking the door expanded from the heat. Looks like the latch is now rubbing against the striker. Is this a thing? Kind of annoying, especially brand new unit. If so I'll have to try to keep that side out of the sun. I already had to fix the locks on the baggage doors, they just left them loose at the factory. Kind of concerning.
I'm taking it this weekend for a 3 day camping trip about 2 hours away, for a maiden voyage. Trying to think of anything I might need to look at first.
Thanks!
