battery

This should be fairly simple but you folks have been good at spotting errors so here's my plan. I found 3 Lion Energy UT1300's (105AH) at a screaming good deal. My goal is to run our generator as little as possible. We only have a 120W portable solar panel, and will likely do a fixed system...

Yesterday I got my 2019 Hawk Shell, single 12V battery, no solar (yet). I have a lot of newbie questions: 1. I don't know how fast it will charge from the truck. I don't know the voltage drop is for the isolator diode so can't even estimate. Any experience out there? [edit: my shell has the...

I may be getting close to replacing my AGM batteries (two 12v, 75ah) in my 2015 Hawk and would like to hear some opinions on the best AGM replacement. Secondly, my Zamp 30a solar controller is Lithium capable. Does this mean I can simply buy two 12v, 75ah Lithium Ion batteries and change the...

Hey guys. I have a 2018 367BHS. I was wondering if when I am pulling it down the road will my truck connection help charge the battery? Asking because i want to keep my fridge cold but cant risk draining my battery on the 10 hrs haul to LP run my fridge. Any help would be appreciated.

When you picked up your new Grand Design RV, did it come with a new battery? We picked ours up in November 2018 and have only recently dewinterized and started camping. We just finished our 1st trip and hd to park it at a friends house as our street was being paved, I parked it, shut everything...

Hey everyone. I'm starting to try to hunt down an 8' or 10' CO. Most likely 70's up to 90's model depending on what i can find in my budget. I'm just trying to get a clear idea of what I'm getting into. I keep reading about people running the campers off the truck battery and draining their...

I wanted to pass on what happened to me this past week. I came home to the stick built house last week. I let the dog out on the back deck and noticed a sulfur smell much like leaking gas. It was late and dark outside so I grabbed a flashlight to start looking for a possible source. The...

I recently purchased a 2005 Eagle. The previous owner had never hooked up an auxiliary battery inside the camper, they just pulled directly from the truck battery. So, I'd like some advice on getting an aux battery hooked up. 1) Any recommendations for RV-specific batteries? I don't have any...

They have a 100AH lithium Iron Phosphate (Lifep04) battery for $810. They also have some solar panels and chargers on sale. I have a couple of their 50w flexible panels and I am pleased with the way they work. Jury is out on how they will do on the road but the build quality seems good:)...

Hey All, Long time lurker. Excited to be joining the community. Background Info: Truck: '09 Ford F150 XLT Camper: '18 FWC Hawk Shell with propane heater and fantastic fan and single stock FWC house battery (Arrives 5/2/19ish) Here's my question: I'm prepping the truck for the arrival of the...

Installed a DC only TF65 in icebox hole. Fit perfect. The camper is prewired but needed vents. There is a separate set of wires for a fan if necessary. I needed to buy some short black screws to cover holes from the door swing switchover.

I recently bought an 2012 FWC Eagle which has very few accessories. The plan is to add a 65L Truckfridge to replace icebox, a Propex 2000 Heater and solar. At present there is what appears to be an original single AGM Batt. with a Surepower separator. Also has an Iota DLS-30 charger/converter...

Hi gang..! I recently bought an Imagine 2800BH in FL and I am thinking that the hot weather can bring temp inside camper while in storage to over 100 degrees. I'm thinking that a great mod would be to run my vents on a timer for several hrs during peak heat and have DC battery charged with solar...

White Dog over at Expedition Portal created a post that documented some changes. But what he had posted about his battery management is a good read. So here is the link and youtube. Cheers. Fourwheel Camper Personalization And here is his quote saying...

Battery and furnace installed in cabinet

I was digging around the web looking for small DC power plugs that were small and could handle decent amps. Not being a RC model guy, I was not familiar with the XT series of power plugs. Any who these look like they would be handy for many applications in the battery box of our campers -...

Our new Ford F350 won’t charge the truck camper battery! Has anyone heard of any problems with late model Ford trucks not sending power back through the trailer hitch’s seven-pin connector to charge the truck camper’s house battery? I’m pretty sure it isn’t my Truck Camper, but is something in...

When my Reflection 28BH is in storage my battery loses about one tenth of a volt every day. I have begun disconnecting the battery terminals when stored for an extended time. The battery disconnect switch is off but battery is still being slowly drained. Can anyone help with troubleshooting my...

Battery box that came with the camper. Photo is from FWC website.

Because we often dry-camp in our travel trailer, we installed a 1,750 watt inverter. It's wired to the 110 v outlets for convenience. Who's got an inverter in their FWC, and what do you use it for? (I should have mentioned: we've ordered a Grandby. Thinking about an inverter for it too.)

2015 Momentum 385th, have replaced the battery but it does not seem to charge up enough from the shore power to retract the slides and feet after stays of 2 weeks or longer. Trying to determine if I have an inverter, hydraulic pump, or other issue.

One question that I don't know if anyone has had. I have a 2014 Solitude. I had it parked in my backyard with no shore power and the battery was disconnected (from the bay key disconnect only- not from the battery terminals). I heard a beeping one day and I thought it was the battery running low...

Thought I'd start a thread about using your camper battery bank/solar to recharge batteries on another battery bank. This came up on a recent thread so thought I'd start a new one to discuss. Though in my application, I'd be charging batteries in a fishing boat, this thread isn't isolated to...
