how,s your 12volt battery?
Not sure, but suspect "not so good".
The trailer had been sitting in the driveway in ungodly heat for 9 days, with my kids in and out every day turning on lights, trying everything out etc. before I had a chance to even take much of a look at it.
First thing I did was put a meter on the batteries and they were only putting out 7V. I plugged in shore power and they immediately went to 12.7 - being charged, obviously.
I've not had any chance to check them since.
Guess I need to unplug the shore power and give it a little while just running the fridge to knock the surface charge off and check them again. Got a feeling I'm going to see less than 12V though...
Thanks for the input, I had assumed the battery condition wouldn't really matter when plugged in to shore power. This whole RV thing is brand new to me!
