Hello all. We are replacing the sail switch for the first time. Our trailer is stored outside, so the solar panel is exposed at all times. In order to replace the sail switch, we anticipated (1) having the trailer unplugged; (2) removing the breaker for the furnace, and (3) turning off the...

We bought a 2019 Escape 21 just one year ago. This summer as RV newbies we will be camping in sites without hookups for a week or so and need some advice on electricity use. I noticed that the electrical outlets in our Escape don't work when we aren't hooked up. The fridge switches to propane...

Putting our 5.0TA to bed for winter here in Sequim. I think one of the batteries is shot as the controller does not show it's present. In any case, I don't have power at my new storage facility so I was thinking of removing the batteries. I have solar on the roof. I see where folks have...
