Hi I’m new to the RV world and have just used the 19erd for the first time this week. It’s my in-laws camper and it’s seen little use since the purchase two years ago. We have been experiencing lots of battery drain and are at a plugged in camp site. Went to a marine store here yesterday and bought a brand new battery ( almost twice the capacity of the original dealer provided battery). Since yesterday we went from almost full power on the battery down to 23%. The dealer says that there is an integrated battery charger on the fuse panel, but it doesn’t appear to be charging much or at all. Right now I’ve got a trickle charger on the battery to bring it back up. Anyone else experienced this? We are turning off the water pump and water heater when we leave during the day and lights etc. The only thing running besides the fridge is the air conditioning. I’m guessing there is a larger issue here. Also our furrion dv3100 is not turning on at all. I’ll probably take that out once we return home to look at the wiring harness.
FYI my dad is here with us staying at a separate cottage and was an auto mechanic for years so we have a fair amount of knowledge between the two of us. Been reading through all the literature provided and are stumped. Any help is appreciated. I hope everyone had a great fourth!
