Unplug your travel trailer, and disconnect the single negative ground wire from the battery, the white wire. Measure your voltage at the terminals with the white wire disconnected. You should see 12.68 at around 50F to 12.73 volts at 70F if you leave the trailer unplugged from the wall, and the terminal disconnected overnight. Battery voltage fully charged is affected by the temperature of the battery at the time of measurement.
Do yourself a favor right from the get go, and do a search here for "48LCD LED's" and where to buy 16 to 20 of them, and change out all your incandescent bulbs to LCD's. Your battery and your charger will thank you for it.
Thanks. I actually already switched my porch light over to an LED, however; we rarely camp without shore power, so saving power while hooked up & camping isn't a main concern of mine for the time being. I will definitely consider it in the future, though.
I only replaced my porch light because I leave it on 24/7 for security purposes and wanted to save as much money as possible (not to mention the incandescents seemed to burn out quick).
