battery charging & solar panel
Hello. New RVer here. Thanks for looking at my question. Have a new TT and it does have a solar panel, although it is minimal..thinking 20w. I've had the unit for about a month and only used it ...

Hi,
The idiot lights don't give you much information, and are pretty much useless.
A volt meter is a place to start.
A temperature compensated hydrometer is the best tool, but not much fun to use at -40.
While in storage the batteries need to be disconnected from the house loads. Often there is a disconnect switch.
The batteries are going to need some attention to bring them back. Do you know the make and model of the converter (that's rv speak for battery charger).

Inside the TT on the control panel there is a button i push that shows the level of charge. It has always been full charge when i checked. I've also always been able to move awning and slide. Today....nothing.
Being new to this i am trying to determine if the batteries drained, and that is normal, or if they should not drain and there is some other issue.
