batteries and new graphics

well we got home from our south dakota /family vacation and i took the monty into Dean's Rv in Tulsa and the checked the batteries and everything is charging fine, i didnt have much battery power after traveling one nite. and then there is the wonderful graphics, the front edges are turning color and stain looking around the lettering on the front, the white trim lettering aroud the word montana. anyway deans called and keystone is covering under warranty. or whoever does the graphics. great to know there is still some kind of customer service.

Sounds like your tow vehicle is not charging via the 7 pin connector. Might want to check that as a days driving has always left our battery in a fully charged state. Jim

Check the connections and the fuse. Not charging does not sound like an uncommon problem with any trailer.

With a blown fuse, nothing was charging! Glad you found it! These problems can be so elusive.
