New to the trailer life. Storing our 5th wheel in my driveway while our house sells and it may be a few months before we hit the road. When we pulled in I pulled the slides out so we could prep the unit and get things ready in the meantime. I have left the main battery disconnect 'off' for the most part to keep anything from draining the battery. I went in today to close the slides because I needed to move it about 40 ft down the driveway and got 3 slides in but by the 4th one there was barely any juice left. I hooked up the tow vehicle and turned off the inverter and the slide came right in. According to my battery monitor it was at 12V
My questions..
how the heck does all this work?
How should I be leaving this while stationary and unhooked from city power?
Does hooking up my TV help charge the battery in the meantime?
What is the purpose of the inverter and should I leave it off/on and when?
thanks!
