This is my camper. The problem is that when I connect to the camper after a period of time (while it has been plugged into shore power to keep the battery charged) the output from the brake light converter module gets blown out. All other voltages remain operable. (Turn, running lights).
Example One: On our first trip to the keys, everything worked fine. Spent a week on Big Pine Key with the Jeep disconnected and when we hooked up the Jeep to leave, no brake lights on the camper. (Jeep brake lights still work)
Example Two: I come back from a camping trip and everything works fine. Put the camper in the garage. (Hooked to shore power) The camper brake lights were working at this time. The following weekend, I take my kayaks and their trailer out. Brake lights work fine. The following Friday, hook up the camper to head out and the camper has no brake lights again. Connect back to my kayak trailer, no brake lights there now either.
Lazy Days RV did all of the wiring including the seven pin electric brake control
Module. They’ve also put in FOUR brake light converter modules now and the one currently in my Jeep is also blown. They keep saying the problem is with the modules.
RV was purchased on October 13, 2018 and has been in to Lazy Days FIVE TIMES for repair. Again, they’re saying it’s the converter module.
In between camping trips, my kayak trailer brakes work fine until I hook my camper back up.
