Re: 2015 Coachman Lepracan coach battery?
What I would do is start checking the voltages between the + and - battery posts, expect something in the 12.5v range. Then check between the + post an a ground. If you still have the 12.5v, then while keeping the ground meter contact, move the + meter connection out to the next connecting wire in the circuitry. Continue to move the + meter lead out along the connected wires until you lose the 12.5v. That's where your problem is.675Views0likes0CommentsRe: Suggestion For People Asking Tech Questions
So often the original question does not contain any where near enough information to provide a complete answer. You can only help people provide the correct answer when you provide enough details. A good reason for additional posts.366Views0likes0CommentsRe: No 12volt power
I don't see anything in your post about charging your battery. Running the generator for a few minutes won't do much to charge it, and starting the engine discharges the battery quickly. As Old-Biscuit said, you need to get a voltmeter and see what your battery is doing. Remember, it takes hours to charge the battery but no where near as long to discharge it.541Views0likes0CommentsRe: Snowing here and
A couple of weeks ago we had more than 2 feet of snow. It has now settled down and melted to about a foot of snow on the roof of the MH. No problem. This is far from the first time, or the heaviest snow, over the 12 years that we have owned he MH and it is still going strong. None of the RVs that are on dealer's lots are covered either.209Views0likes0CommentsRe: Storing Your RV
When we bought our Class C, about 12 years ago we had several mice inside that we finally trapped. After this I lay down under the RV and searched for any spots that mice could get in. I found several. I sealed these holes; expanding foam, metal screening, sheet metal, etc. I also noticed that the extension cord I was using didn't really block the hole the cord ran through. I made a sheet metal cover for the hole that blocked access around the extension cord. Haven't had a mouse in the RV since, at least 10 years.479Views0likes0CommentsRe: 30A or 50A Choice
28' Class C with one AC. Came with a 30 Amp power cord. Have been to all parts of the US and most of Canada. I carry all of the adapters and have never missed having a 50 Amp power cord. It's not a big deal to turn off the AC for a few minutes to run the Microwave. Most of our camping in the south has been exploring the country and we spend most of out days exploring the area and are not in the MH during most of the days. Just our camping style.584Views0likes0CommentsRe: volt meter question
I installed a dc voltmeter, a dc ammeter and an ac volt-ammeter in the panel with the water heater switch and the generator control. I also put a switch to select either the battery voltage or the converter voltage. Happened to be an available place. Comes in very handy.185Views0likes0Comments
