In most cases your engine battery will charge your house battery, but the onboard charger will not charge the engine battery. You need something like this to charge your engine battery from the onboard charger

I installed an Atwood LPCO detector to my 77 Travelcraft. The first modern upgrade to the camper. I have bought a backup camera to install yet and am thinking about updating the power converter.

Went to start it to run it for the monthly run and DEAD battery. I've had this problem since we got the unit. So I plugged it in and waited a few days and walla the engine battery is charged. I've had the unit for almost 2 years now and this is the first time i tried to charge the battery this way. I usually put my portable charger on the engine battery. I have also completely disconnected the cable that runs to the coach battery's to see if they were draining the main battery. but it still drained. I know it being a 012 there are sneak circuits in the ford chassis. My question is does the on board charger that is suppose to charge the aux battery's suppose to charge the engine battery? puzzled?

Same here.. although looking at the long range temps think I'm a month early. Oh well get some exercise walking to the bath houses. ACE hardware has a sale on the antifreeze for 2.99 for 17.49 for the case.

DITTO.....Ran the generator and the engine to distribute the fuel stabilizer and to exercise the genny. Try and do it every few weeks.

Have been using two fans to dry the bedroom carpet. When my sister and I were down in Gulf Shores, AL, this past April. We went through the monsoon rain event. Close to 25" of rain in something like 23 hours. The bedroom carpet got soaked. So I figured a roof leak or a lead around the window. I could not find anything that would indicate that. Did not do anything. We went camping a number of times and if we had a wet carpet we didn't know it. Most of the camping was at COE parks and state parks which don't have water hook ups. This last weekend the same thing happen. We were at a private campground and hooked up to water. They have a decent water pressure. The carpet got soaked. Stood there looking at the carpet and thought the only thing close was the water line to the toilet. Shut off the campground water and oopen a faucet to relieve the pressure. One morning I was sitting out back enjoying the morning drinking a cup of coffee. And it darned on me, Wait a minute the outdoor shower is past the toilet on that side. I went into the C and pulled back that carpet cover curb which hides the water lines to the outdoor shower, a large loom of wires, and heat duct to the campartment that has the dump valves in it, to keep them from freezing, and the duct with the gas tank filler tube in it. So its close quarters in there. Started to check for ddrips, and here is what a I found. The outdoor shower hose had vibrated lose, it was not even finger tight. Hopefully that is the leak. Easy fix. Off to the local box home supply store today for a new hose. And turn the fans on again.
Life is a trip,ENJOY the ride.
Safe Travels.

Added a battery charging line for my towed Jeep Liberty. I want to assure that I have a charged battery after a long day of driving. I had a problem on my recent trip with the draw-down on the battery by the Brake Buddy. Tomorrow I'm having Tire Man valve stems installed.

Attacked it with a tube of marine grade sealant.

There were a couple suspect spots around the running lights on the cab-over when I bought it a couple months ago, so I sealed around all five of those, realized I had nearly a full tube left, and went at any other seams that looked questionable.

I'm glad I started on spots that are 10 feet in the air, because there is a bit of a knack to making things look smooth and pretty.
