Re: HEY we need a sticky for our TT pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey everyone, I'm Kevin, new to RV'ing this year, bought my first trailer, a Northwood Nash 22H a few weeks ago. I've been slowly getting the inside ready and took her out on our first "shakedown trip" this week. Ran into a few issues with the battery and brake controller, as well as got some familiarity with boondocking. Looking forward to some more trips in the future. truck_nash22h by Kevin Montalto, on Flickr371Views0likes0CommentsRe: Troubleshooting Electric Nash 22H
First of all I want to say thank you for all of the replies, they're much appreciated. As for 120 vs 12, a combination of being a newbie as well as panicking when I couldn't even get a light turned on turned into saying "anything". Once I corrected the problem it only took me a minute or two before it hit me, "oh yeah, tv and outlets work off 120, not 12", haha. On to the fix....the first sentence of the first response did it. I'll admit when I read it my first thought was, yeah yeah, red to red, black to black. Well, that works when the wires are color coded properly! My wiring setup has 1 hot and 2 grounds coming off of the battery. One of the grounds has a white jacket with a red connector. After I read that first post I really crawled underneath and traced the wires. Don't ya know it, that one went to a bolt on the chassis. A 30 second fix and I had lights (but no tv :-) ) again. And to 'You can't take the Fisherman out of this Camper', I owe you a virtual beer. Thanks all, Kevin546Views0likes0CommentsTroubleshooting Electric Nash 22H
Hi Everyone, my name is Kevin and I'm new to the RV world; picked up a 2004 22H Nash trailer a few weeks ago. I'm unable to get anything to run off of the battery when I'm not plugged in to shore power. In my purchase inspection I know all appliances were tested and I saw them working, but newbie mistake, I can't remember if we tested them running off of the battery. I bought a new battery when I got the trailer because I wasn't sure of the condition of the old one So far I've gotten a good reading using a multimeter from the battery posts (+- about 13 volts) I've visually inspected all fuses and replaced the 3 20a ones just for good measure I've googled and looked online and read the manual, but I'm having a hard time determining if there is something easy like a battery shutoff switch. Can anyone tell me if there is, because if not, I'm not sure what else I can troubleshoot myself without taking it somewhere. Thanks, Kevin4KViews0likes8Comments
