Hello all, I recently picked up a new-to-me truck/camper combo. 2007 Tacoma with a 2007 FWC Eagle. Both truck and camper are in great condition. However, on my first trip, I ran into electrical issues. The camper (with auxiliary battery) would only run the furnace and ceiling fan for 3-4 hours before the battery indicator would show low (red) power. I got the battery tested and it showed it was at the end of its lifespan, so I purchased a new Optima yellow top deep cycle battery. Unfortunately, the new battery is having the same problem. A few other details... I was camping in pretty cold weather (20-30 degree lows), The auxiliary battery shows a full charge after driving, and camper/wiring was installed by FWC with a battery isolator.
I've read lots of the electrical troubleshooting topics on WTW, and it seems like maybe I have a short in the system somewhere causing a drain on the battery? Anything else I should check?
I appreciate all the knowledge on this forum, its been a huge help!
