The battery monitor isn't going to react fast enough to show you what's going on. Your eyes and LEDs are much faster than the monitor.
What does the dealer or manufacturer say? Is this a problem for you, or just an annoyance?
Open up a light fixture and attach a multi-meter in parallel with the power leads for the fixture. Turn the light on, and watch the meter closely while someone else operates a faucet somewhere. What numbers are you seeing?
I try to avoid the dealers for repairs unless absolutely necessary.
I imagine if your were dry camping and someone was using the shower for several minutes the flickering would be pretty annoying.
I checked the voltage at the light and there is a significant voltage drop.
Measured at light fixture
LED lights off 12.67 v (no water pump)
With only one LED test light on...12.48 v (with no water pump)
With only one LED test light on 10.88 v (water pump on)
I spoke to a guy who just bought the same trailer and his lights don't flicker..
I have rechecked all the connections from the water pump to the converter and found noting loose???
It is a new trailer and I did not discover this little problem until after I added some TV's (they should not be related as they are not connected to 12 volt and were pre wired), second battery and battery disconnect switch (I have disconnected both and problem still exists) Battery monitor(goes directly to battery not connected to trailer system)
