battery

We have a 2016 Big Horn 3875fb. Is it appropriate to replace the two 6 volt batteries with a single 12 volt Lithium upgrade ?

I have just lost a 3-year-old battery in a way I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered. These batteries were just routinely inspected and topped off (with barely any water addition needed anywhere) in September. Yesterday a power issue was traced to dead batteries. One of them had a cell...

Hello All, I've got my 2021 Fuel 362 in storage. Outdoor. Uncovered. Mild weather. Lows in the 30s, highs in 50s. The battery is a 5-month old AGM. I store the rig with the main power cutoff set, so I believe there should be no power being drained from the battery to the rig. I've noticed...

We have a 2015 Landmark Key Largo. It sits in storage for 6 months at a time in AZ so lots of sun. How much wattage should we need to keep the batteries topped off? Would the Harbor Freight 100w panel work and what other accessories (if any) are needed? Can it be connected directly to the...

Hello! We just purchased a 2012 MPG (greag condition) and we’re figuring things out as we go. This is our first camper of this type! We put a new 12 volt battery in and the dome lights don’t work. (They should work off the battery, right?). We’ve searched but have not located any bypass...

I have a 2019 Wilderness 2775RB and I have just gone full time. I have a newbie question that I am pretty certain has a very simple answer, thus I am about to embarrass myself. Be nice to the new guy! Here goes: I am taking my first baby step toward eventual off-grid living. I just...

I brought this battery from battery world in July. I put it on my travel trailer for 2 weeks then I just sold the trailer. It was used as a stand alone battery and not run in series or parallel. The battery is in brand new condition. Battery box included. Asking $325. Pick up in St. Tammany...

I am brand new to RVing and cannot seem to find this answer online. When I check my panel for the status of the battery, all 4 LED lights are red. From what I have read, that typically means there is a blown fuse somewhere. Is this correct? We were on shore power for about 2 weeks and when...

Hello everyone. This is my first RV trailer that I bought last week. The first owner of the trailer was a solder and he wasn't here to give me information about the trailer, and I am very new to RV trailers, but I am a handyman. So I replace the old battery with a new 12v deep cycle RV battery...

Still in my first full season in my Sundance XLT, so I'm learning a lot. There is one thing I've noticed that puzzles me; hopefully some of the experts out there can chime in. I have the WFCO 8900 series converter and two GC batteries in series. I had the coach sitting at home, not plugged...

Hi everyone, I've read alot from other folks who seem to have similar issues, but could use some one-on-one help if anyone has the time. I'm full-timing near the Gulf Coast in a 2014 BH3610 but was gone for 3.5 weeks (military). Shut everything down but left the battery on. When I got back...

I wasn't sure what to call this thing, so I took a picture so you knew what I'm talking about. The terminal that connects my battery to the RV is corroded, and not letting electricity in. I began to disassemble it by loosing the rusted nuts. One of them got stuck, and while turning it, the...

http://menards.com/main/lighting-fans/indoor-lights/accent-lights/motion-sensor-light/p-1468695-c-7490.htm We have several of these located around our fifth wheel. Not only are they motion sensing and automatic and run on batteries, but they can just be snatched off the wall, etc and used as a...

Does anyone know if the converter that comes stock with the Edge M18 is an 'intelligent' unit? Basically, does it do a good job of charging the battery, recognizing when its full and drop down to a trickle charge, (like the 3 stage battery charges)? I'm wondering how I should maintain my...

I have my trailer plugged into 110 constantly, even when parked next to the house. I'm in and out of the trailer almost daily. Yesterday I walked in to a terrible sulfer smell. I tracked it down to the battery which was bubbling over and smoking.. yikes! I unplugged the power and it cooled...

Hi bought a Sundance 24rl 5th wheel in Feb 2009, had some minor warranty issues which have been sorted. The company doing the warranty work had to replace the battery at a cost of $105. Heartland declined to pay for the new battery. The 5th wheel has only been used twice for a total of 7 weeks...

Howdy all… Just a little background… I’m looking to purchase a BH 3670RL this spring to live in full time. For the most part, it won’t be gong anywhere unless I don’t like where I’m living, it's in for repairs, I change jobs, or something like that. I have some newbie questions that I’m...

HI, I have been searching the forum re: battery cutoff switches and found lots of info. But what I am really looking for is: Does anyone know what the maximum current draw is from the battery? I want to make sure the switch I install is capable of handling the draw for my 3610 BH Thanks

I actually had this project completed just prior to the Labor Day weekend but didn't get around to taking any pictures. Did the final cleanup for the season and winterizing today and thought I better get some pictures before I head to the storage tomorrow. We are typically dry camping most of...

I am new to this but would like to ask the following. I have a 2008 BC and used it full time till a few months back. After I parked it for a few weeks and went back to use it the lights would not turn on with battriy power but the landing gear and slides would work off of the battery. When I...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the slideouts supposed to work without shore power ?? We are on a week vacation and when we arrived at our campgrounds I hit the switch to let the slideouts out before I hooked up to shore power and got nothing, no click no motor sound coming from the...

Lots of folks expressing an interest in more battery capacity. Could you incorporate a bit more space into the battery tray, provide for a secondary (ventilated) storage area in the "basement," or come up with a custom battery box which would hold two batteries?

I just purchase a Marinco Battery cuttoff switch and for some reason the power stays on even if i switch it off. I basically ran the positive side cable currently on the battery to one of the terminals and connected a purchased battery cable and ran from the other terminal to the battery...

Brought the new Road Warrior home and parked it for 2 days and the Battery went dead.I had to jump start the battery to get the generator going.It ran for an hour or so shut it off and the next morning it was dead again. I've had it plugged in now for two days. So I guess my question is.Should...

We are currently camp hosts at Pawnee Campground in Colorado (no electricity) and must use our 2 Honda generators to recharge the battery on a daily basis. On average, we run both generators for about 2-3 hours in the am and 5-6 hours in the evening. During the night, the battery consistently...

All right - here's one for you. I just got my M-19 last week, and with it came one group 24 battery in a box. I want to add a second one. The problem is, on the rail that is right behind the propane tanks, there is not room for two of the battery boxes, and the only double battery boxes I can...

We have a north trail 21fbs and leave it plugged in when in storage. Are we susposed to unhook the battery to keep from overcharging it and burning it up?

I am assuming the trailer will have a deep cycle battery when delivered. I do not plan to rely on the battery when using the trailer, but I do want to be able to fall back on it in the event of an outage. After some research on maintaining and keeping a deep cycle battery charged it raised...

I got an Onan 6500 that was being thrown away and have rebuilt it. It only has 312 hours and now runs like a sleeping cat:D. Granted, I have about 50 hours of labor into getting her running again but the price was hard to beat. Our Landmark has the generator prep. I have found the remote...

I looking to add a battery cutoff switch to a 2010 BH 3055RL and was hoping for information as what kind of switch used and where you located it. Thanks.

I've got a 2004 Dogdge 2500 quad cab. Once on each of the last two days the battery gauge flatlined on me. It stayed flat lined for about 20 seconds during which the check gauges lite comes on. Then the gauge comes back to life with full power and the check gauges lite goes off. Anyone...

My battery is not fully charging while the unit is plugged in. I read 13.6 volts going to it. How do you tell if it is the battery or the charger? Also the electric water heater does not work. Both switches are on. I am going to take it in for warranty work, but just curious if i could do...

Should the battery shut off be left in the on position when camping. Or turn off when connected to shore power.

When we go out I leave the sensors in place for the whole trip, two weeks on one trip. I am sure this does not help the sensor life. I guess my question is has anybody had to replace a sensor? The manual is a little vague on how long they should last. My second question is how long does...

The brochure says that it is a standard. Do these units come standard with 2 batteries and are they 6 volts?

How does one know how much the inverter is charging the battery when plugged into shore power. The 5er battery seems to need water quite often. I suppose I could use an amp meter and check with it hooked up and not hooked up. What say all you RV experts. Bob:D

Im going to add another battery. Do I need to worry about having the additional battery vented with a hose like the oem or can I just let it vent into the generator compartment?

I am overly dilligent in maintaining the battery bank on the horn. Running out of power on a trip is a drag at best. Last night, after it cooled down, I put the charger to the equalizing setting to stir up the 'ol electrolytes, it has been six months or so and it was time. My wife went out to...

I store my 2009 2900MK at my son's house. We used it last weekend and returned it to storage Sunday night. When I checked it yesterday the battery was 100% dead:(. The radio wouldn't even turn on. I looked for possible switches we (I) had left on and discoved the the furnace was still in the...

Is there a battery disconnect for the batteries on this model? I've looked and cannot find one. Should I install one (We are parked and winterized for 4 months a year)?
