morning- i am plugged into shore power, but my wet cell batteries are not charging. voltage is dropping. when i fire up the motorhome, the batteries bumped up to 13.4 volts. is my converter on the way out or is there something else i should be looking for? the fuses on the converter are good.
Good day to you all! Hope you can settle a discussion regarding the battery disconnect switch. What position should this switch be in when connected to shore power, and what voltages should my lead-acid battery read in each switch position?
Hopefully someone has some answers/suggestions for me... Here's the story:
My wife and I are preparing to drive back to southern California in a couple weeks in our used 2010 Fleetwood Encounter (32BH) which we just purchased from a private seller. The RV itself is in really good condition...
I have a 2004 Alfa See Ya with a Coleman Mach basement AC unit. The compressor is short cycling every 1 min 4 seconds. When it tries to start, voltage drops from 118V down to 110-111V, then recovers back to 117-118V. Cool air comes out but not cold air.
I've already replaced the shore power...
I just bought a 2019 MD170S that has not been used for the last 4 years. We tested the AC while inspecting prior to purchasing. It was on around 40 minutes. When we got it home we put it on Shore power. The AC would run only 30 to 60 minutes and then pop the breaker. At first I thought it was...

I recently replaced my worn out lead acid batteries in my 2018 Entegra Insignia with two 460 amp hour Vatrer lithium batteries. Everything is good EXCEPT after the batteries charge up on shore power the coach still draws power from the batteries and does not seem to switch over to shore power...
My X17Z AC was on and running on my house power, a 15 or 20 amp circuit, I am not really sure. Turned it on this morning to make surte it was working before heading away for a few day. It shut off after a while and will now not turn back on. I reset the breaker even though it wasn't tripped. Is...
Bigfoot 40MH32ST with 30 amp service so cannot run both A/Cs off shore power at same time. Understand as wired from factory could run both off the generator. Prior owner installed a switch through which select one or the other A/Cs so running both off generator not available now.

Hey all, so I finished my install of the Renogy 2000w with a built in ATS (https://www.renogy.com/products/puh-12v-3000w-pure-sine-wave-inverter-with-ups-transfer-switch-and-built-in-bluetooth). The inverter is functioning when on battery, but even with I connect shore power, it still draws...
My shore power cable outer insulation has separated from the actual plug and now has little to no strain relief. Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix for this or just replace the cable. At some point the conductors will eventually fail due to the strain of plugging/unplugging the...
I finally received the Newmar print owners manual for my coach from the previous owner. I always like to read them, so I was looking through the documents yesterday. I was surprised to see in the electrical section that Newmar says no adapters. Will void warranty, etc. I only use a 50a to...
I've wrote before that my Bogfoot has two A/C units but only 30 amp service. Manual says can run both off generator but only one at a time off shore power. Emailed with Micro-Air. They said with an Easy Start on each unit should be able to run both at the same time. Anyone doing this?
My batteries usually read 13.8 from the indoor panel and my iPhone app. After getting the Rv back from toilet replacement, reads 13.6. Repair shop had it overnight. I emptied the fridge and shut that off. Nothing else was on. Figured it would change back to normal after a few days plugged in...
I usually back it up to the house a few hours before packing to get the fridge cold drive out the heat before we pack, make the bed, clean, etc..
I've been using an extension cord/adapter/shore cord that came with the RV, but the 25ft extension cord and adapter are getting too warm..

Most long timers know I show dachshunds as a hobby. Went to a dog show in Doswell, Virginia. Got home and plugged up as usual. About 5 minutes later, there was no power inside the coach. Had a so called mobile tech come to the house and replaced the coach's...
I have a 1989 Royal Classic, did not come with a built in generator. House battery is under the hood on the drivers side. I just bought a portable generator to help when I have no hookups. My question is, when using the generator power, if I leave the house battery switch on, will the...
