Odd electrical issues with camper?

If an older unit and if multiple things are acting up, I'd start with looking for a bad connection(s) somewhere that have something in common - starting with the battery to frame & converter/charger to frame connections as these can be exposed to the elements and sometimes corroded. Maybe a loose connection in the ground bar behind the converter panel? Maybe check the voltage right at the battery when it is in charging mode after extending the landing gear and slides. Check positive connection at battery and at converter.

Installing a new battery means little as it's hard to screw up tightening up two connection in a dry/covered location and the battery should be working properly.

Intermittent electrical problems can be one of the hardest things to diagnose... :( If you were to take it back to the dealer, that likely won't help unless you could somehow demonstrate exactly what's been happening.

As a matter of course, I would check and tighten all 12 & 120 volt connections at the converter/panel and ground bar regardless. In our TT I found one wire completely loose at a breaker. Also have found a number if improperly done crimp connections with wires barely holding on and connections to frame and the mini-breakers (in A-frame) that were badly corroded.

Good point.... We just bought it from the dealer (it's a 2013 model) two weeks ago, so hopefully they don't try to give me issue with the 4 year warranty as it says that electrical/mechanical failures are covered. Luckily (and unluckily) the bedroom slide and rear jacks weren't working when I got there so they at least know there is an issue.

I plan to go through the entire thing when I get it back and double check all of the connections.
