    Why Does My RV Battery Die When Not Plugged Into Shore Power?

    I have a 2021 Rockwood 2606WS. Last year I replaced the battery because it kept dying on me. Now that I have replaced the battery, I am still having the same problem. Everything works fine when I am plugged into shore power. But soon after disconnecting, if it sits idle (not hooked up to the...

    Why Does My 2005 Gaucho Fan Run Only When Plugged In?

    (I posted this question in another thread where it is likely to remain buried, so apologies for a double post) Hello, we have a 2005 gaucho that we love, have owned for 2 years and only been able to camp once. We have it secure next to our house and plug it in occasionally. Sometimes we...

    240v mistake

    Hey guys, I let my brother borrow my 1992 fleetwood bounder for awhile. He moved to a new location and decided to wire a cord to plug the rv into a dryer outlet. Breaker on the dryer plug immediately tripped. Now the rv house has lost all power I tried to hook it to 110 and the proper cord...

    Winter storage, plug in or not? 2015 Itasca 37f

    I have the unit plugged in, and the microwave and fridge both unplugged, as they run whenever shore power is connected. I am confused. Many say it is ok to be plugged in all winter, others aay not . New AGM batteries, power inverter will run them, also showed 15.00 volts on battery monitor for...

    Shore Power and Engine Running?

    i assume it's not acceptable to start the engine while plugged in to shore power. It's 2 different chargers putting out 2 different currents into 1 battery so i assume no. what do you guys do? thanks

    Why Does My 12V RV Fridge Turn On Automatically When Plugged In?

    I always turn off my fridge when done. When I plug into power or battery it always comes on automatically. Is this normal?

    No power unless plugged in or on generator

    2002 mountain aire. I have no inside power in the unit unless the motor home is plugged in to power or the generator is running, but not if the motor engine is running or unplugged. The batteries charge when the motor home is running, when plugged in and with the generator. It almost seems like...

    do I need to winterize?

    Just purchased a Grand design 22rk 5th wheel, downsized from at 42ft 5th wheel. It is stored in a 3 sided quonset hut. Can I just leave it plugged in over the winter with heat on low instead of winterizing it completely? It might get used over the winter for extra company space. It's rated...

    First time winterizing after 5.5 years of FT living; safe to leave plugged in?

    Due to some family issues, we are not heading south for the winter for the first time after almost six years of FT living. The rig will be parked on the same spot it's been on all (each) summer in Michigan, and we will be staying in a house about 100 feet from our spot so getting to it and...

    Leaving RV plugged in

    Who leaves their RV plugged in all winter? If so do you have it on a timer? 15 amp or 20 amp timer? How long on at a time and how long off?

    Plugged into shore through the Winter

    I have a shore plug on the side of my house that i use to plug in the Coach through the winter months even though everything is turned off inside. I'm under the assumption that it keeps the battery topped up however i have heard some say not to because some RVs don't use a modern Smart Charge...

    Hooked Up to 250V Plus Smoke

    Well.... We have a brand new 21C. I plugged into an RV outlet today that I was told was 120V but was actually 240V. I also didn't realize the BMS was switched to bypass from the factory. It was plugged in for around 5-10 seconds before I switched the BMS on, and the bench area had started to...

    Recirculating Toilet Not Dumping

    Dear Forum, My wife and I recently purchased a 2004 Trailmanor 3023. We took it on its inagural camping trip and was suprised at how quickly the toilet filled up. When I went to dump it at the campground's dump station I heard a quick flow when I pulled the valve handle and thought it had...

    2150 RB kitchen sink will not drain

    My new (used 4 times) Imagine 2150 RB has a plugged up kitchen sink. There is no reason why it should be plugged. We don't cook much in the RV, we use a grill and the campfire. We don't even wash a lot of dishes in the sink. No grease or food debris has gone down the sink. I tried using a...

    Plugged waste water in '71 Tradewind

    We have a mysterious plug somewhere in our plumbing. We didn't have any problems using the bathroom or kitchen sinks when we were on a full hook-up, but this last weekend while boon docking we ran water down the kitchen sink and it came right up the drain in the bathroom floor. Same problem...
