My trailer is 2 hours away and I was hoping to get one to take with me to replace this weekend. Thanks!!Re: Electrical Issues??????Burbman thanks so much for the info. That is what I was thinking too. If the battery was able to last for so long, it probably isn't a breaker or fuse. I will definitely contact Best Converter. I am pretty handy so I will probably be able to replace it myself. Heck I can replace ceiling fans so hopefully I can figure this out. Now just another question......could it really be a bad connection or loose connection from the trailer to battery or the converter wires? The reason I am asking this is because the site that the trailer sets is waterfront....salt air not too good but would the battery really have made it for that long if it was a bad connection. Thanks!!Re: Electrical Issues??????remdog*1 where is the fuse on your converter?Re: Electrical Issues??????Thanks Beemerphile1....that's what I was looking. Anyone know where there are other fuses and breakers besides the ones located in my breaker/fuse box in the trailer?Re: Electrical Issues??????Anyone else have this problem????? Are there certain fuses that could be blown, if so where would they be? I was just trying to get some opinions of what it could be, I know I could ask a person to come and look but seriously was looking for possibilities of what it could be.Electrical Issues??????I haven't used this forum in a while but now that I am having some issues this is the first place I thought to go. We have a 2008 Keystone Hornet Retreat parked on a seasonal site. We have not had any issues until last season. Let me paint the picture....the trailer stays plugged into shore power all the time while in season but last year we noticed that the overhead lights started to dim and got worse as the season went on. The alarm went off a couple of times. I will say we are really bad, we use a lot of things at once, we are a trailer of 3 girls. Last year was the first time since purchasing the trailer that I replaced the battery, crazy I know. So I purchased the battery in April and then by September that battery was dead. Even with the new battery we still had the dimming of the lights, everything else worked though. I made sure that we brought the new battery home with us this season but now we are getting ready to open up for the season and am wondering what I will need to do and check. Kinda freaked out by electrical but trying to figure out if the problem could be a simple fix and save this single mom some money. Thanks!!
