2002 Dynamax Carri-Go House Battery Location

I embarrassingly cannot find the house battery in the 2002 Dynamax Carri-Go 2510. Anyone that has owned one know where it might be? Thanks,

    . The bed is in the rear of the 2510 Coach we have. I was suspecting it was under the platform below the mattress. Looks like a few screws to take out. I will check when time permits. Thanks

    I don't know about his manual, but my coachmen manual is very generic and doesn't mention the location for anything, I had to trace the pipes to find the low water drain (under a sink cabinet) and the freshwater tank (I thought I saw it under the frame next to the graywater tank, after crawling under to take a look, realized that was the fuel tank, the freshwater tank was under the bed under a screwed-down panel... turns out that dirty aluminum looks a lot like translucent plastic at first glance, which is why I confused them) Fortunately the battery was easy to find, it was under the stairs.

    Bought it used from a dealer, he knew less than me during the walkthrough -- after pointing out the black tank flush inlet, he spent 15 minutes trying to find the freshwater fill... until he finally realized that there was no black tank flush and that was actually the freshwater fill.

  • Thanks for the suggestions. I will look around again today.

  • Can you follow the cables under the MH from the converter area or from a battery cut off switch ? The negative wire is normally grounded to the frame somewhere near the battery.

    places to look, crawl under the MH to look for a battery box along the rails, under the entrance step , inside a baggage compartment or under the engine hood. I would think in 2002 it had to be in vented spot due to the common use of wet cell batteries.
