Everything works when plugged in or when I plug camper into the truck electrical. It is when I unplug the camper from the truck and try to use just the house batteries. All electrical is dead.
The truck doesn't get plugged into shore power.
Remember, these batteries were new and exhibited the same issue as the old batteries I replaced. That tells me that it is not the batteries but something else.
Correct me if I am wrong, I know you all will. BUT if you are plugged into the truck and the truck engine is not running or the ignition switch is off then there shouldn't be any change in your lack of power. (RIGHT?) If engine is running then you get charging power to the TC batteries and this will help you move the slide. (RIGHT?)
I once had low batss in the TC and the slide creeped along...started truck and away it went. I will be interested to see what this is all about. Looks like this is the place to get the advice needed. Good hunting.
