Re: Camper Battery doesnt charge while going down the road
First thank you to everyone that chimed in on this also the references to websites. So i checked the seven pin on my truck i have power top right pin. I than checked the cord between the truck and camper no power.I than went got another cord that plugs into 7 pin on truck to the cord on the camper and i had power same pin top right. I than plugged that into the camper pulled out the battery which was still hooked up to the camper and started my truck i get nothing to the battery. i Checked the voltage before i started truck and after and no change so it is not being charged at all. All fuses in the fuse panel are good. So could this be a grounding issue? Thanks Rick693Views0likes0CommentsRe: Camper Battery doesnt charge while going down the road
I thank everyone for all the impute. Looks like i need to do some checking. I looked under the hood pulled the fuse/relay cover i have a trailer relay. Not sure how all that works. Camper is off truck i will hook it up start checking things out. I just assumed the truck would charge the battery period. My Dodge is a camper special. I plan on installing a 200 watt solar setup at some point but i considered the truck charging the battery in the camper a given. Like i said will look at all the suggestions to resolve this over weekend. Than will get back and post. Thanks Rick457Views0likes0CommentsCamper Battery doesnt charge while going down the road
Just curious why my house battery would not charge while driving. I have 2001 Dodge Cummins. Anyone know anything about this and is there a way to have it charging. I just assumed it would charge thru the 7 pin. Also we had check light on our frig i ordered a new dinosaur board put it in didnt change a thing. Would only give check light while driving down the road we constantly have to recent frig would be fine than do it again. Appreciate any input.

I have a 1997 Beaver Monterey it has been stored for a few years in RV park in white mtns az. I am up here to try get motorhome back to Tucson and looks like all the batteries are shot. I have two napa 7236 batteries group 31 and have threaded post. I have 4 6 volt orielly batteries gs100tj same as a gs2 they say 115 min on them. I have had excellent luck with the maxx batteries from walmart got 10 years out of the pair on my dodge cummins. I called the local walmart they havee a group 65 not a group 31 like the napa battery and it has regular post not threaded post. I was thinking of just getting post adapters and buying these as they have 3 year full replacement warranty i called napa they have 18 mo and some only have 12 mo. Plus walmarts are everywhere. Same with the GS2 they are 98.00 oh and so is group 65battery 98.00 . Any advice or thoughts on this ? Thanks in advance..4.1KViews0likes10CommentsRe: Do air bags air up at start up of my class A.

Beaver mtr hm?
Thank you for your replies. So the airbags air up upon starting the engine than you retract the levelors. When you store the coach does it hurt to have air in the bags or should it be stored with the bags deflated? What is the reasoning on this? My coach has 3 leveling jacks two in the back one in the front. Thank you for your replies. rick618Views0likes0Comments
