I hope this has helped you in identifying and repairing the problem with your trailer. This would be the time to your trailer to a qualified RV Repair Shop and have them repair the problem. Unless you are an RV Technician, you should not be opening up or tampering with the converter. If all of these steps are done and the batteries are still not charging, then the problem is most likely in the converter itself. Make sure the this switch is in the on position. The location of this switch varies by RV model and manufacturer. Is there a battery cut-off switch located anywhere in the RV. Repair and replace these items as neededĬheck the battery terminals, is there noticeable corrosion, are the battery cables attached tightly to the battery posts? Clean, tighten, battery cables and posts as needed. Do any of the wires coming off the batteries have an inline fuse or fuseable link. Check all the wires that are going to the batteries, are any of them broken, frayed, burnt or two bare wires touching each other? If so repair or replace as needed. Once the fuses are replaced try plugging the RV in again and see if the batteries are receiving a charge. Again if you find a burnt fuse, replace it with the same amperage fuse. If not just pull each of the fuses out one at time and inspect and replace. This may require you to remove each fuse to visibly inspect it, if you have a manual or if the fuse panel is marked it will give you an idea of where to start. Check each fuse to make sure it is not blown. ![]() On that same panel or close proximity to that panel you will see a bunch of auto type fuses. If all the breakers are on continue to step 4.Ĥ. If you have a manual or if the breakers are marked it will give an idea of what that breaker operate. Don't just look at them physically touch them to make sure that they are in the set position. Check the breakers to see if any are blown. Those breakers are for the 120 volt system of your RV. You will see breakers on the panel just like the breakers in your house. In most cases this panel will be in the same compartment as your converter. Go to the fuse andīreaker panel of your RV. Do not replace it with a higher amp fuse, as you could create a situation where the wires could overheat and cause a fire in your RV.ģ. If it is replace the fuse with the same amp fuse that you took out. Once replaced, check again to see if the batteries are being charged.ĭo you see any in-line fuses on the wires? If so check to make sure that the in-line fuse is not blown. If you do find some damaged wiring, it will have to be replaced. Check to make sure that there is no bare wiring touching another bare wire. Do any of the wires look broken, do any of the wires look discolored like they have gotten hot. If visible check all of the wires coming out of the converter (do not attempt to open up the converter). Go to the compartment where your converter is located. Unplug the RV from the 120 volt power source.Ģ. Here are the steps I would like you to take.ġ. I am going to assume from this point on that your converter is designed to charge your house batteries. If you have no manuals then you might want to call the service department of an RV Dealership that either sells or services your make and model trailer and ask them. If you have the owner's manual the information should be there or there may be a separate owner's manual for the converter itself. Now since you do not tell me if you are the original owner of this trailer, or if the batteries were charging prior to this or given me the year, make or model of your trailer, I am going to ask one simple question.Īre you sure that your trailer's converter is designed to charge the house batteries? You need to know this because we can do all the troubleshooting in the world to figure out why the batteries are not charging only to find out that your converter was not designed to charge the batteries. Do you know if there is a fuse connection between the 110 AC and the 120 DC units in the converter that might have been blown?ĪNSWER Hi Richard, OK let's see what I can do to help. I didn't notice this until I stored the trailer and had it plugged in the AC current and the batteries went bad. The only way I can charge the batteries are while I'm pulling the trailer or with a battery charger. ![]() I also have DC power to all my DC equipment but it will not charge the battery when plugged-in to an AC current. I have a problem with my Power Source converter in that I have 110/120 to all my AC plugs. ![]()
