Seasol camper problems

[deep channel]

looking for someone in mcgregor area to work on our camper. furace not working and the 12 volt battery keeps going dead, and now the hot water heater is not working after last weekend

Could be the first 2 problems are related. Possible the furnace needs 12 volt to run. Check converter, maybe a blown fuse on it.

If you inadvertently crossed the wires on your battery it may have blown the fuse on for the on board charger. Did that and it took me a bit to find it.

Could also be that your battery is toast and won't hold a charge, found that out the hard way too.

If you have a seasonal site, don't you keep your camper plugged in? Are you saying that you unplug it when you leave and when you come back the battery is already dead? Just curious, why do you unplug it? Don't you keep the fridge running all the time?

What does the furnace do? Does it not light? Did you get all of the air out of the gas line yet? Is the gas turned on?

Out of propane?

we had trouble with our water heater last year, the battery didn't have enough volts, even plugged in the water heater would not light, new battery fixed it.

appreciate all the advice, things to try this weekend,

. propane is full, probley something to do with battery wiring. when i bought the camper one of the fused wires was hooked to neg post on battery and that didnt seem right

But if you have it plugged in, you shouldn't even have to have a battery at all. My motor home that I used to have I never even had a battery in it because it always stayed plugged in.

its always plugged in even have 220 for the dryer bur the furace needs battery to run also

I pretty sure most need a battery to get 12 volts the 12 volt devices(built in charger keeps battery charged). That being said I am sure they are not all wired the same.

The positive wire should be the one with an inline fuse, so you may be onto something. But who knows, maybe someone added the fuse to the negative wire.

I once hooked up my battery backwards (red and white wires, which goes where?!?). It blew two fuses inside the camper. One for the 12v battery charging system, and a tougher to find one inside our refridge. I won't be making that mistake again.

Yeah but there is a converter in there also. My old motorhome ran every 12 volt item off of the converter and it was a '76. I could be wrong but I would doubt that manufacturers would go backwards and now require a battery in order to run the 12 volt system while plugged in to AC.

Ours is a 98 and was overcharging the battery...so I just pulled it out. The converter (if working) converts the 110 to 12 volt with or without a battery in place. Do lights work in camper? They are 12volt and will not work if the converter isn't working. If the lights work, the converter is working and there could be a fuse tripped somewhere.
