Battery Drain

Hello, 

Thanks for the response Jato. My Wfco panel says the dc status is 13.0v. I pulled. The trailer into my 30amp outlet at home to see if it will charge up to full. Then will see once unplugged if it will hold the charge with the solar trickle charge. 

Hi janderaz. Congratulations on the new Rpod. Hope you make some great memories during your travels. The only advice I can give is to work from one end of the system to the other starting with the battery. I know you said it was a new Rpod, but I would start with the battery. Start by making sure all of your cells are flooded. If possible disconnect everything from the battery and charge it. Like jato said, a multimeter/voltmeter is really helpful here. Once you are satisfied with the battery condition, reinstall and begin diagnosing through the RV. Make sure everything is turned off especially the 12volt fridge. 

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions and feedback. The trailer is just parked in my driveway waiting for it’s maiden voyage. Nothing is running or tuned on, it’s just being stormed in driveway. I have be charging it from a 30amp outlet all weekend at my house and the battery never charges above 3/4 full. If I disconnect from the power outlet the battery drains to zero and the solar panel is beeping to indicate low battery.  Solar panel shows it’s connected and charging. I’m thinking the battery is the issue at this point. I’ve checked and can’t see that anything is on or running other than safety devices or digital displays.  Going to call the dealer in the morning to trouble shoot it. 

Yes I’m getting a 13.6 volt reading. I think the dealership sent me home with a low charged battery and the solar trickle charge could not charge it up enough to keep a steady, full charge on the battery.  Just guessing, I’m new at this lol. Will test the battery but still calling the dealer to hopefully address the issue. I have only had the trailer for 1 week and have already learned so much,
