30 amp in-line fuse continually blows
Boy do I need some help! Every time I try to extend the landing gear on our 5th wheel when hitching or unhitching the 30 amp inline fuse blows after a few seconds.
We had this problem a few years ago, were told that our house batteries weren't charged and, after charging them at a gas station everything worked well. For a time.
On our current trip all was well until last week in Zion. We'd been on the road for about 5 weeks. All of a sudden we started blowing fuses again. The "charge" indicator on the rig panel read "fully charged" but we could not raise the trailer.
I finally caved in and bought a new pair of 6v Deep Cycle Interstate GC2's in Kanab.
This morning we hitched up without problem but when trying to raise the trailer to unhitch the fuse blew after 20 seconds. It then continued to blow after about 10 seconds on each attempt. (Fortunately I stocked up on 30 amp fuses!)
I have NO idea what's going on here. Any suggestions are appreciated. I even put a coat of white lithium grease on the landing gear in case they were dragging.
Best wishes to all!
