Hi everyone I have a 2012 Rockwood tent trailer, style 1904 and have a few questions 1) what brand of battery charger would be installed in the trailer? 2) WHERE is the battery charger? 3) has anyone ever installed new slides for the bed slide outs on ANY tent trailer? thx

sorry i can't provide a solution but i have been looking for a solution on the crappy slides on my rock wood...i would love to find some heavy duty slides that actually worked....google heavy duty rv slides

To answer the previous question, my charger has 3 options for amperage 2 / 6 / 10. i've been charging using the 6 amp setting

Well Well Well! After 3 days of having one 6v battery charging at 6 amps i came home from work and the charger read 100% @ 6.5v I've switched the charger over to the other battery and it read 5% so we'll see how long this takes...hope this works i'll keep you all posted - thx

I tried charging the 2 - 6V batteries in series, as 1 - 12V but the charger keeps going into error mode...not sure why. i've disconnected everything from the batterries as i thought that might be causing some issues but i get the same issue no matter how i do it. I've switched over to charging...

Thanks everyone.... i think you're right...partially. I now agree it's probably a self resetting breaker. what about if the batteries are DEAD. i'm getting no power but when i plug in trailer the lights and everything seems to work...just not the lift.

ya it's not a fuse...that's what i thought too not much inside when i opened it.

I'm having issues getting power to my canopy lift for my tent trailer....even when the trailer is plugged into i had almost now power to the lift....looking at the batteries there was one pole that was really corroded...cleaned it off and now i have zero power to the lift....the rest of the...

checked them right after i took the charger off so i'll be sure to have a look tonight Thanks!!

Ok i check things last night and both batteries read exactly the same 6.38V, so i'm guessing they are fully charged BUT the charger stays at 95% i think i'll take the charger back and see what they say.

Thanks guys i'm not sure on the individual voltages but will check...but you say it should be 6.3 each??? the charger was set at 2amp charge, would that make a difference? and to confirm, its distilled water for the cells correct?, i'm going to double check this.

About 8 moths ago I removed my 2 - 6V flooded batteries from my tent trailer and they have been sitting in my garage ever since - NOT plugged in. On the weekend, using my new Pro-Logix charger 2310 from Clore Automotive (http://www.cloreautomotive.com/sku.php?id=502) i hooked them up but the...

I have no plans at the present moment to add more solar panels, the fact these are 25 & 30 amps seems to be a bi-product of the features i'm looking for, mainly the read out. I've looked at the MPPT controllers but they're just more than i can afford Has anyone used the Sunsaver Duo?

I?m currently looking for a new Charge Controller to go between my 100 watt solar panel and my 2 ? 6 volt batteries. There are a tonne of choices out there and I?m sure a bunch of you will chime in with your 2 cents saying ?it really comes down to what you want or the final decision is yours...

i guess i was under the assumption the batteries would stay where they are (i.e. on the trailer) and i wouldn't have to worry about them. truth is that i should remove them and store them with a little charge every couple of months. is that what you do?
