We have an old Lance Truck Camper that we use at the marina where we dock our boat.
And something is draining our battery. We are both long time RVers and we are just not getting what is going on. Here is the scoop.
We hook up to shore power - our 3 way refrigerator works, our AC works and our sockets all work too. But somehow the battery is either being drained fast OR it is not charging when plugged into power. We also plug the unit into power when we are not using it (at my husbands yard - where he keeps all the trucks and heavy equipment for his business).
When we are not using it the ONLY thing running that could be drawing battery is the 3 way refrigerator but invariably in a day or less the battery is drained and it won't fire anymore. Even when we dry camped in the past with other units, we could go days on a battery charge.
Oh and now the unit is winterized - we have a solar panel which trickle charges the battery and the 3 way refrigerator is shut off (the unit is not plugged in) - and after 2 months in the cold we still have some battery charge (there is a meter) of about 11.5 -- so we think maybe something is off with the 3 way refrigerator.
Where should we start? Any ideas? THANKS SO MUCH
