2016 Palomini Electric Advice Needed

[Arglebargler]

Hi all,

First post, I'm hoping I can avoid taking my 2016 palomini palomini to the dealership plan on camping this weekend.

Last weekend when I went to hook up to go camping the motorized jack wasn't working. Odd, but I can do it manually so we went on. When we arrived at the campground, the jack still wouldn't work and none of the interior electric would work either. Once we plugged into the electric at the campsite everything worked fine minus the jack and the refrigerator wouldn't work.

The battery shows fully charged. I'm clueless with electric, especially when it comes to campers. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Justin

Sure sounds like a loose wire somewhere. They can be a real pita to find.
Good luck.

What about the jack?

To keep my mind satisfied, I ran a separate wire TV battery, to Rv battery to charge while traveling. + terminal on battery, to 30 amp circuit breaker then to rear of TV and a plug there to hook RV battery to. Also use a battery disconnect. The typical 7 wire pin on RV wiring is good but the hot + wire, will not do a good job of charging the battery when traveling.

just my way of doing things.

It sounds like you had a dead battery. Once you plugged in your converter began charging it back up. That's probably when you checked the charge and it showed full. Two things: You'll need to disconnect the battery when the TT is in storage as there are parasitic draws that will kill it in a few days of sitting, and You need to keep a close eye on your battery as they are not intended to be completely discharged like that. Good luck!

This would probably be your problem.

same thing happend to me this summer..when plugged into shore everything worked however when not nothing worked...ended up being a loose ground by a frame of camper

Been a while but here's an update...fixing the fuse did nothing. It must be the batteries--I guess I'll get a tester to check.

A 20 amp fuse might be the lights and the fridge because the fridge on propane pulls maybe (and I say maybe 2 amps max if it has auxillary fans). If not, 2/10ths of an amp.

My 2016 Palomino has 15A fuses for the lights. 20A fuse are for the jack legs. On my fuse panel there is a listing of fuse amperage and where they go to.

Good luck.

I found a blown 20w fuse. Thinking that's the fridge. Not sure about the lights but will find out a little more when I get to the dealer for a new fuse tomorrow.

You mean 20 amp and it's an ATC fuse (automotive).

It's not going to be any of the little fuses or breakers in the panel.
It may be one or more of the reverse polarity fuses or if you have a battery disconnect, it is open.

look by the battery there will be a 30amp fuse needs replaced
Did you check the battery while plugged in? If so you checked the output of the converter.

Cool, thanks guys. I'll check back in later tonight. Fingers crossed.
