Noticed Smell Then Smoke - Ideas?
I plugged my TT into the shore power at the house for a few weeks prior to having a guest stay in it.
Test ran everything fine.
Day or two before occupancy I went in and noticed the converter and water heater circuits were tripped. I flipped them back on and was GTG.
Refilled one of the propane tanks the day of occupancy and everything was working.
Hours before occupancy I turned on lights, central fan, refrigerator, water heater and TV.
It ran like this for maybe 6 hours straight....
Flipped OFF the refrigerator hour prior to occupancy.
Hour or two later I smell something horrible. It was dark and I could not see it, but the Interstate Deep Cycle battery was shooting white smoke out like steam from a teapot. I disconnected the negative then positive and removed the battery.
TT was GTG off of shore power for the rest of the night.
What gives???? Put the trailer under about 1/3 appliance load for a few hours and the battery smokes out???
Ideas??
