    RV Battery still draining

    Its the engine battery. When they replaced the alternator they said everything should be fine so I dont think they ran any additional tests. I had explained in detail what had been going on to them.

    RV Battery still draining

    Hi everyone, I posted a week or so ago about my RV killing new batteries overnight. I took it to the shop got a brand new battery and alternator and thought everything was great. Nope! Went out a few days later to start it and of course it would not start. I jumped it with my car and it started...

    Engine battery keeps dying overnight

    I was thinking that to but inside the RV there is a display thing that says the house battery is either low, fair, or good. When the RV is running it will be on good and everything works okay. Since I am clearly very confused what exactly is the inverter box for? When I travel I do not go to RV...

    Engine battery keeps dying overnight

    If it is jumped and then turned off sometimes it will start but a majority of the time it will need to be jumped again but it will jump quite fast. If it sits overnight I will have to jump it for about 5 minutes. It has never died while driving or lost energy. I have not tried disconnecting the...

    Engine battery keeps dying overnight

    Yes. If I have the rv running the house battery will charge to good. Then when i turn off the rv i have anywhere between a half an hour to sometimes an hour where the inside lights will work then they dim and i just turn them off. Im thinking maybe th inverter box isnt working correctly?

    Engine battery keeps dying overnight

    There is an inverter in the RV but I can never tell if it is working. No lights come on or anything but like I said when the engine battery was working the house lights would come on for maybe half an hour then go dim. None of the electrical sockets have ever had enough power to work so I have...

    Engine battery keeps dying overnight

    The RV is a 1988 Toyota Odyssey 22 foot. When I bought it I was told the battery is new and it looks new. I went from Arizona to Oregon and everything was fine except i was told when I drive the house battery would charge and sometimes it did but most of the time it would say it was fair. When i...
