My error.
The trailer pkg was a special order, and included camper/ 5er wiring plug. This took 2 different truck dealers to figure out how to install a fuse, so the camper battery would be charged by the truck alternator.
The 2009 Northstar did not have a battery separator, it was necessary to manually disconnect the fuse. This fuse got hot once and melted the fuse into the wiring, so I had the Lance dealer here install a battery seperator.
Bedlam, solar would not work for me, truck and camper stored indoors.
The only reason I still have a TC, is because I keep reading here how wonderful they are. ????
Ok, so you have an isolator, but park most anything for X number of months, especially through the winter and you have about an 80percent chance of a dead battery. No big deal, just a dead battery.
Except my old '74 jeep. That thing went 18mo once without being started and wasn't dead!
No need to get down on the setup for dead batteries. If you don't have power or can't run a wire outside for solar, pull the batteries, take them home and put on a maintainer.
Just what needs done. I rotate a maintianer, plus the shore power charger on the boat and camper charger all winter on the boat, camper, mowers, jeep, wheeler, whatever isn't getting run for a while.
