Well...... First off,, If you take it back to the dealer to fix it.Play dumb, don't say a word on what you did, just tell the it doesn't work and You have no idea what to do, please fix this!
When they ask you what happened, tell them you did exactly what the salesman showed you and it didn't work!
Sounds like you figured out your mistake, and its way to late,, But,, its under warranty, so let it be what it is!
Nice. People rant about unethical practices by dealers and here's an advocate for dishonesty in claiming warranty coverage for what was clearly not a warranted defect.
How is going right back to the dealer and NOT ranting on about what you think you did wrong unethical? Or Dishonest?
Have the DEALER show You how to hook it up! And if it sparks and carries on then thats on them,Not on You!
How receptive do you think the shop is gonna be to you getting all freaked out that they screwed your trailer up?
All your doing is asking for clarity on how they hooked it up!
Let them determine if it was hooked up wrong and see what they will do for you!
Best thing to happen is that they realize your a new trailer owner and EDUCATE YOU on how to do it properly and maybe cut you a break on new or newer batteries!
Or not, your left to figure it out on your own!
But before you make that mistake again, Wear eye and hand protection! I have seen the aftermath of a battery explosion!
Last tip; Never disconnect or connect batteries with the trailer shore power plugged in.
Plugging in shore power will power the on board 12 battery charger and who knows what type amperage you will get!
Un plug shore-disconnect batteries do not plug shore in again until you have batteries hook up properly-then plug in shore power.
Your complete electrical system is designed to work with a 12 v battery inplace!
If no batteries and you plug in the shore power, your 12 Positive for the batteries will be HOT!
This was most likely the cause of the sparking when hooking the batteries up both times!
The CO/propane detector is another issue, next time it goes off and won't shut up, VENTILATE the trailer immediately! open it up! Its a TH correct? Open windows and the rear TH door and see if it goes off.
If not I would assume a Propane leak some where and take it back to the dealer to investigate!
