Yes - it only happens when going down the road with nothing on. I have no generator and don't run anything inside while camping at this point.
I have a sure power box with fins isolator with 3 prongs. When I got the RV - wires were already on the posts marked 2 and A so I left them. I connected the house battery (which was not installed when I bought it) onto post marked 1 as it was the only one empty.
After the issues on the trip - I decided I woudld try connecting the opposite way - Chasis on 1 and house on 2 but the wires are not long enough to do that so I would "assume" that it was never connected that way. There were "jumper" wires connected when I got teh RV so could they have been jumpering posts 1 and 2 to accomplish proper connections?
I will definately take the RV up to Pep Boys and have the altinator tested. In addition....I was thinking of purchasing a new isolator and new wiring and running it all new so I knew exactly what went to where without question.
Parked with shore power everything is fine....If I don't run the fridge. I have a 3 way fridge that does not currently work on LP. I don't run it unless on shore power but it still seems to kill the battery - and oddly enough - the chasis battery, not the house battery which is confusing as it is wired directly to the house battery.
