Re: Clicking from electric trailer brakes while parked; Normal?
Thank you for the replies! The ramforum.com also had replies that varied from electrical problem to normal pulse from controller checking the trailer is hooked up. I'll go with the latter and also double check my grounds are good. Thanks again!1.1KViews0likes0CommentsClicking from electric trailer brakes while parked; Normal?
Hello, I asked a few RV shop techs about this they all never heard of it. I'm a new RV & truck owner and have a 2006 Forest River travel trailer with electromagnetic brakes, 2018 Ram 1500 with integrated brake controller and when I plug in the 7pin connector I hear a faint rhythmic tic/toc clicking from the brakes, while parked. About twice per second and it never stops unless I unplug or apply the manual override on the dash. I saw an article about an aftermarket brake controller on etrailer where the expert said it is normal for that controller to send a signal to the brakes constantly, resulting in that sound. Wondering if it is normal for the oem brake controller? Seems odd that no RV experts have heard of it. Brakes and electric are working normally otherwise. Also, I have disassembled and inspected during bearing repack and found nothing noticeably wrong or worn. Thanks! Bob2.9KViews0likes5CommentsRe: Replace A/C gasket as preventive maintenance?
Thank you all very much for the great info! How would I be able to check the gasket compression? I'm not at the camper now, but I did try looking under the a/c from the roof and up through the hole from inside and wasn't able to see the gasket very well.427Views0likes0CommentsDo I need to take my battery home to trickle charge?
I made my first travel trailer purchase and keep it on leased land in Illinois where it will stay all year. It's a 2006 Cherokee with one battery next to the propane by the hitch. I can connect to power while staying at the camper, usually 2-3 days at a time, but need to unplug when I leave. Can I leave the battery in the unplugged trailer for a month or two between visits or do I need to take it home with me and keep it on a trickle charger?2KViews0likes11Comments
