inverter not charging the battery
2 Questions - On our 4th TT and stepped up to a 2022 mesa ridge last year. First TT with a inverter. Only been able to take it out 2 times. Had it hooked up to our house on a 30amp while not traveling. Went camping to Cape Charles KOA and after the 3rd day we could not pull our slides or awning in. Also we have some aftermarket under carriage lights that I installed and they started going crazy by themselves. The only way I could pull in the awning or slides was to switch the battery disconnect to ON.
So it seems the battery was not charging when on shore power but also is not charging when hooked to my truck. Trying to figure out why this is happening all of the sudden. Since the tt is a 2022 the battery should only be a year to 1 1/2 old. Battery did have heavy corrosion, which I cleaned off but after driving home 3 plus hours, the battery never charged. Is it more likely a bad battery, when on shore power now everything seems to work except charging the battery.
2nd question is - we have a residential fridge and want to turn this off when parked and covered at our house. We leave it plugged into 30amp at our house to keep the battery charged (problem with question 1 at the moment) is the best thing to do... turn the inverter breaker off or do most people turn off all power to the TT. I have read removing the ground from the battery and unplug shore power to kill it all. Not sure what the benefits are to keep power to the TT but dont want to keep pulling the big fridge out to unplug it everytime.
