All ActivityMost RecentMost LikesSolutionsContinued electrical issuesWe replaced our battery, it was old and hooked up wrong, positive negative switched. Everything worked great....for 10 hours. Then the Battery completely died again. While it was dead, lights and such would not work from shore power. Which seems to be the issue as the battery is not charging from shore power. I'm clueless what to do? We are charging the battery on the battery charger now, but where do we start? Thanks in advance for your HELP!Re: Dead Battery and hitch/slideLet the shore power charge up the battery. Also possible he turned off the main power when he unplugged. Look for the red, round battery switch. WHERE??Re: Dead Battery and hitch/slideApparently there is some other wiring issued caused from the drain out of the battery. A main fuse somewhere other than the fuse box, that I can not locate. So frustrated.Dead Battery and hitch/slideMy camper battery is completely drained, dh unplugged weeks ago for unknown reason. I need to hitch up any suggestions? Other than finding a battery charger. I am now plugged into shore power, should the hitch run if I plug into truck? It doesn't. :(Awning Strut/Damper won't CompressIs there a secret to compressing an awning damper? We had to loosen ours from the awning for a bolt repair and now it won't compress to be replaced. There is no apparent reason to believe it was damaged. Thank you in advance for your help.Re: Lack of Power to slideAm I correct in thinking that if they were jammed or had something stuck the motor would at least attempt to turn on? We plugged in the camper when we returned home but still get nothing when flipping the switch.Re: Lack of Power to slideTHANKS!Re: Lack of Power to slideWe got this camper with the slide in July and this is our 3 trip. When we picked it up there was no mention of the slide locks in the run through. Do they all have them? IT is a 2012 Springdale. Thanks.Re: Lack of Power to slideThanks so much, I was hoping that was what you would say. Off to hook up a battery charger or possibly buy a new one. Thank GOD it came in.Lack of Power to slideWe were camping without power this weekend, so our camper battery was nearly dead. When pulling in the slide it came in slowly and stopped without the normal grinding noise that says it is DONE! So I double checked to make sure it was in and it was. When arriving home and plugging in to electric, there is still no sign of power to the slide and it will not extend. There are no visible fuse issues, the automatic awning switch above the slide is working. Any hints or suggestions would be appreciated. Really didn't think I had time for a hour trip to the dealer this week. As we are heading out again on Friday. Thanks in advance.
