Re: warm/hot house batteries
Matt, Not sure how I power up the converter. It of course is not in an easily accessible region (I have to remove a shelf that is screwed in but the last time I checked it I did not see a bypass or on/off switch. Can you please explain. And yes they were 2 12Vs in parallel. I replaced the batteries at no cost but will use the multimeter to test as prescribed. thanks all. tom360Views0likes0Commentswarm/hot house batteries
Came home last night and heard the propane detector going off and there was a funny rotten egg smell. Hopped onto the internet to determine the potential cause (there are several) with one being the house batteries cooking. Low and behold went to go check them and sure enough they were warm to the touch and the area had a very strong odor. Why they get hot. Could be that one, or both batteries, failed. Could be the converter is shot. OR..... Please fill in here. The batteries were from Walmart and I had my receipt. BTW some good advice I got from here. Seal your receipt in the area you keep the batteries. If you ever have a problem you have the receipt right there. Anyway, pulled out the batteries, went to Walmart and asked for an exchange. The batteries were 2 years and 4 months old. People there were extremely helpful and exchanged the batteries for free. I am hoping that this is the issue. I do not relish the idea of exchanging out the converter. Which would be next.3KViews0likes10Commentsinstall of a dometic 3316230.000 duoterm
Well now I am going digital and purchased this unit as it is suppose to be compatible with my old analog. It came with the thermostat and the control kit but no installation directions. Is this suppose to be an intuitive adventure or are there directions somewhere?1.4KViews0likes2Commentsreplaced duo-therm
I recently replaced my duotherm 3107612.008 because it would not engaged the compressor for the a/c until it was set at 60. I replaced it with a duoterm 3106995.032. Took a photo of the wiring before disconnecting the old controller and reconnected the new one using that photo. Now, when turned on the a/c doesnt turn off even with the temp set at 90 and the furnace does not turn on at all. Checked all of my wiring and it is correct according to the old unit. thoughts?1.4KViews0likes5Commentsa/c unit
Hello campers, Have a problem with my a/c unit that I would like some help with. It is a 15 year old Duotherm. Problem just presented itself this weekend after solid performance. It appears that the compresssor will not kick on until the thermostat is set to 60, even though the inside temperature is 75. I checked the shore power, thinking I was not getting enough juice, but that was not the problem. Not sure if it is the thermostat just giving a bad reading on the inside temperature or if there is something wrong with the a/c unit itself. Not sure if it matters but the outside temp was around 84 and low humidity. thoughts?1.2KViews0likes5CommentsElectric Entry step not working
I have an electric step that extends and retracts using a button in the coach. There have been times in the past when the step stopped working. No buzz, no jamming sound, it appeared that there was no juice. Then it would miracously come back to life a few days later and would be good for a year or so. So it just went out again and I am going to try and fix it for good. I am assuming it is an electrical problem. Any tips on how to proceed?2.1KViews0likes9Comments
