Camper - tow car mismatch
My son bought a brand new Rockwood ESP 1910 made by Forest River. There is a persistent problem with the camper-car wiring. He keeps losing the connection to the rear lights. He has brought it back to...

The jury is still out, actually. What did LazyDays do?
1) They ran a ground line from the brakes all the way up to the vehicle connector. (The factory had only run a brake VOLTAGE line to the brake system but just grounded off that to the chassis) The position of Lazy Days is that THIS was the root cause of the failure.
2) They wired each output from the converter module to control individual fuse-protected relays that activate the outputs.
Why is the jury still out? Over the past year, Lazy Days has “fixed” this failure nine times only for it to pop back up. The number of connections/disconnections between the last two failures was approximately seven times. THIS time, it’s only been four and I honestly can’t tell you when I’ll be 100% confident that the actual problem has been resolved.
Note: Someone suggested putting in a smaller fuse. The problem was never voltage (current) coming from the battery (supply side), which had the factory converter fuses installed. The problem was a spike backwards into the converter module outputs from the camper, we believe. Putting smaller fuses online from the supply would not have addressed this failure, in our opinions.
Out of MILLIONS of RV trailers with Electric brakes, you have the ONLY ONE with a dedicated Ground wire from the brakes to the 7 Pin. In other words what LAZY days did and stated is nonsense. Sorry, the problem is JEEP's, not the RV dealer or RV maker. AS to your belief that the spike is coming from the RV converter. NOT POSSIBLE. The tow brakes and lighting are completely separate from the RV 12 volt system. Doug
