battery issues on new TT
My wife and I bought a new Forest River TT from the dealer last month, and I'm having issues with the battery draining. Even with nothing on and the TT sitting in the driveway. The battery goes from fully charged, to only showing 1/3 charged ( according to the meter on the TT control Panel). The battery shows a manufacture date of 9/18, and everything is turned off. I realize there might be a very low trickle of power to the dormant stereo and control panel but that should be it. I figure either the battery is **** or there is some sort of wiring panel causing a drain on the battery. Does anyone have any tips for how to test for either one? The battery on my pop up would last for days when using the heater, lights, and pump,3.8KViews0likes34CommentsRe: Question about sealing Windows, and other items
Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty handy. I'll either get some butyl tape to fix the tape in the first pic, or take it to the dealer to have them fix it under warranty. And I'll get myself some Dicor self leveling lap sealant to have on hand.463Views0likes0CommentsRe: Question about sealing Windows, and other items

My wife and I recently purchased our first travel trailer, brand new from a dealer. We've owned a couple of pop-ups, but this is our first hard sided trailer. We picked it up on Friday and started making it our own over the weekend. I also found myself inspecting every inch of it and noticing a few things that I did not notice before we left the dealer. The first thing is that all of the windows and other things that penetrate or otherwise but up against the fiberglass/laminate have silicone or whatever sealant is used around the top of the window, but not the sides and the bottom? Is this normal? I understand that the top may need more protection from rain falling from the sky, but it seems that you would also want to keep out rain that you are hitting at 65MPH while driving through a storm. The other thing is that one of the windows also seems so be missing a few inches of whatever kind of sealant tape or whatever it is that they put between the window and the side of the trailer. My question is, are these things normal and things I don't need to worry myself about? Or are these things I should take to the dealer for warranty repair right away? or neither of these things ?2KViews0likes11Comments
