Pex joints are generally easy to repair with shark bite fittings. Lots of you tube videos for instruction.

12V circuit breaker is usually very close to the battery on the positive wire.

Almost certainly a battery connection issue. The frame ground would be suspect in my book. Inspect, clean and tighten all connections. Don't forget the converter connections from the battery.

Another recommendation for the PD 4600. You get better guts and a new 12 volt fuse panel. Slides right in. This is what I did, works great.

If you can't get to a service center, call a mobile tech. Most are able to do warranty service.

Replace the batteries first, check all connections for tight and clean and then see what problems you have.

Are you saying all the equipment and wiring is in place and you are just going to connect to new batteries? The order of hookup and testing doesn't matter as long as you connect the solar panel wiring to the controller LAST when dealing with the solar hookup. You must have 12V power to the...

It will heat up fast enough. If you want, stop 5 minutes before your destination and turn on the heater, same difference as running it all the way....

Better the less you extend... Physics, load is spread wider

I turn it on and leave it on....

We had a trailer that had the water pump and fresh water tank drain underneath a jack-knife sofa. Had to prop it half way and reach in.......

Haven't read Handy Bob, but I would assume an expert would not recommend powering a converter with an inverter.

Are you saying that whoever installed the inverter disconnected the battery from the converter? Typically the inverter is connected directly to the battery without removing other connections... Have you tried: Unplug shore power, turn off inverter, does the 12V stuff work?? Unplug the converter...

Yes, disconnect the converter. Depending on your wiring, unplug it, throw the breaker if it is on it's own. I had to pull the wire from the breaker, as it was shared with lights.

Haha happened to me this year too. Except wife was sitting on the deck and hollered "What's this pink stuff pouring out from underneath the trailer"? Good thing I bought the big jug this year, had enough to finish the job...
