I had a Roadmaster brake system installed in my Jeep tow vehicle being pulled by my class A MH. We've been on the road a week and the battery in the Jeep has been dead three times after we stop for the night. What are we doing wrong? Does the brake system take that much juice? What can we do so the battery stays charged? I know it's not a battery problem because the Jeep is brand new and only has 450 miles on it.
Does your manual tell you to remove any fuses or whatever and have you done that? If so and it's dead at the end starting from a full charge then you may well need to add a charge line from the MH.
BTW We've now had the battery on our new 04 CRV replaced twice by Honda. First time at no cost and the second time at $24 prorated. And they are alleged to be 100 month batteries.
