    1905 bh Gas furnace draining battery

    Many RV propane 12 volt furnaces use a significant amount of 12 volt power to run the fan. The needed 12 volt power must come from a battery, a converter/charger, or an inverter/charger. A working charger is required to replace the power drawn from the battery. If the battery continues to...

    Dutchmen, Keystone, Kodiak, and Voltage are some of the worst brands for both design and build quality. I have a Kodiak Cub, but would never buy another. Worst: Design Build Customer Service

    Electric tongue jack

    Typically, the electric tongue jack should be connected directly to the trailer battery through a fuse or circuit breaker. This provides the most reliable function. In this case, the jack is also connected to the tow vehicle battery in most cases. The trailer battery is connected to the tow...

    What's this switch do?

    Most likely the second switch controls outside lights. The second switch in mine controls 4 LED lights. One on the underside of each corner of the trailer. You would not see them in sun light, but they stand out at night.

    Battery overcharge

    22ft travel trailer (Coleman CM1805RB20). Got it home, plugged into our 30amp camper service line and later found the battery hot and bubbling over. This indicates a shorted cell inside the battery. Battery charger keeps tying to bring the voltage up to 13 volts or so. Battery with...

    How to save my 2003 Aerolite Cub C160? (Rotten Floors)

    Lwick's experience shows it can be repaired. It is a significant job to do. The sandwich floor design is cheap and light. Usually the top and bottom are glued to the rigid foam. While it is new, it is strong, but the glue joint fails when lots of walking on it happens. Water intrusion of...

    Battery question

    You can of course use the group 24 batteries as long as they provide the power you want. 200 watts of solar panels may provide a peak charging capacity of 15 amps at mid day on a clear summer day. A rule of thumb is you get an estimated 6 hours of charging per full sun day. So, 15 a X 6 hrs...

    Battle Born were some of the best lithium built back then. Glad to hear it is still working fine. They were built with closely matched cells and may not have drifted out of balance much. My 2018 Kodiak Cub has a WFCO 35 amp converter/charger. It does not have a lithium setting. It is not...

    In my Kodiak Cub, the converter/charger is part of the main circuit breaker panel. The circuit breaker panel is behind a black plastic cover that opens by pressing on it. There is a ventilation fan below the cover that opens. The converter/charger and main circuit breaker panel is usually...

    Safely hooking up inverter generator to battery

    Plug the shore power cord into the generator outlet. Generator will power the RV's built in battery charger. Presumably the built in battery charger is set to a lithium charge profile.
