is it your 12 volt lights dimming or the 110v lights? If it is the 12v lights,battery could be failing and has to be constantly recharged. you should not see any changes in your 110v lights unless there is some heavy draw in the campground

it is my 12 volt lights, so what you are saying is the lights will dim while the battery is being charged, so does that means with the frequency that it is happening my battery must be due to be changed

Check the battery. Also look for corrosion on the connections. My money is on the battery is done.

I'm thinking, if I'm right, if you hook your rig up to your truck and the lights remain constant, it pretty much closes the case that your battery is bad. Just a thought.
