I could use some clarification about our battery. We’re hooked up to electric and our battery panel is showing that we are almost empty after 24 hours: we arrived at the campground with the panel Indicating a full battery. So my question is doesn’t the battery recharge/continue to charge even though we’re using lights, etc? The fridge and microwave are on electric and we haven’t used the furnace. Why would the charge be so low? Or should we not rely on the panel readout?

I take it you are hooked up on shore power, the purpose of the convertor is to charge the battery. So if your convertor is working your battery should be charging. The monitor is notoriously inaccurate, many of us have added gauges. You need to verify the actual voltage. You may in fact have an issue, but first really need to ascertain you have a problem.

Thanks. I’ve wondered if the converter is working so will need to check the system out. I appreciate your speedy reply.
