Re: New House Batteries, Converter Beeping?
Thank you! I do have that same little fuse box in the bird box. Lol. Thanks for the diagram! I can now make sure all the right fuses are in the right slots. Converter...I would imagine it is the original. We bought the 2003 Tioga this year used. Is the converter below the bird box? Or maybe under the flooring somewhere? All good! You are all awesome.689Views0likes0CommentsRe: New House Batteries, Converter Beeping?
Opnspaces et all, thank you sincerely for your help! My family is greatly happy we get to go camping! @iamichbod I do have the same setup! My bird was chirping when I had it all wired up to 24v. Since it is good and parallel now, the whole coach seems good! Only lost 2 led cabin lights. Fridge, water pump, all seem good now. Fuses behind bird and in dining room are good, none blown. I should probably find fuse diagrams to the RV and make sure the right amps are in the right spots...689Views0likes0CommentsRe: New House Batteries, Converter Beeping?
You are a life saver! We do dry camp more often than not. The 2 6V are something that I shall have to go back to here in a few years. Faster if I keep storing the RV with everything all plugged in and the LP detector draining the batteries to kingdom come! To think that vampire electronics cost me $xxx.xx is, it hurts my tummy. hahah351Views0likes0CommentsRe: New House Batteries, Converter Beeping?
Thank you very much for your reply! Good to know that the slightly less amperage set of batteries is not a culprit. Wiring. I duplicated the original exactly to the original as far as I can tell. In the pictures I shared there on Imgur, on the right battery, the negative terminal has a small white and small black wire co-mingling with the big power cable. Do those need to stack in a specific way? I'm also fairly certain that at no time I did a neg/pos tap tap. But, who knows? Maybe I did booger something up unknowingly...thanks again!353Views0likes0CommentsNew House Batteries, Converter Beeping?
Hi. Lot's of learning going on! We have a 2003 Fleetwood Tioga and we killed the batteries during storage. Didn't disconnect them and that damned LP detector wiped the batteries out: chassis and house, so we think... So we got a new chassis battery first. Replaced that ez pz. Went to replace the house batteries and that is when the proverbial poo hit the fan. We had 2 Napa deep cycle batteries at 75amps each. I hit autozone and got 2 Duralast 65amps batteries. Swapped em out. So far so good. Kept the wiring the same. Now, when we turn the rig on, there is a shril continuous tone coming from the converter (the plug with all the wires and fuses?) area of the battery compartment. Lights don't turn on. Generator won't kick up. Are converters amp specific? IE, should I swap out the 65amp batteries with 75amp batteries and keep all the things like for like? Any helps appreciated! imgur pictures5KViews0likes24CommentsRe: Incandescent bulbs work, LED do NOT work
Sooo, thanks again all! I opened up another fixture and noticed a white plastic wire plug that has the black and white wires in respective orientation. Pull the problematic fixture out and guess what? No factory looking white Gizmo! But in it's stead, a wire nut! The issue isn't with that soldered ma do dad, but with the actual wires coming INTO the fixture! Clipped, flipped, tested, and Bam! LED work! Now to tidy it all up. I heart you all!988Views0likes0Comments
