I'm hoping someone can help me on here! I have a 2006 PP Travel trailer, 36 ft. I'm not sure if we are having converter or battery issues. Bought a new battery last year because we were having some issues, and actually got a 50-amp power box installed at our site (We camp at Lake Carroll, IL, which is known for its electrical issues in the campground). The battery was fullycharged when I brought it back yesterday and hooked it up to the trailer. Her is the gist of my situation after spending all weekend frustrated - Woke up this morning, the battery was fully charged, 100%. No lights or anything were being used at the time I checked the battery, as it was first thing in the a.m. and no lights were needed. After, I went inside, and turned on the lights inside, went back outside, and the battery charger said that batter was completely dead. As soon as I turned on the lights, the battery went dead. Had some frig problems last night (we have the propane tanks being refilled, both of them, so there is no gas at this time), check light flashing on and off, etc. However, the biggie today is this - Took the battery completely off of the unit and we have no power, nothing...no refrigerator, no lights, no nothing, BUT we can use the outlets and those are working fine. The 110 from the outside seems to be working and coming into the camper, but does the frig run off of the battery or theelectric? It seems very strange if the frig would run off of the battery!!! But when I took the battery off, nothing, no power at all in the camper, but the outlets work fine. Do I have a bad battery, or a bad converter and my converter is not converting to 12V into the camper? It just seems strange that the frig would run off of the battery. If it's supposed to run off of the electric, then do I have a frig issue too? I have read some posts on here, and realize that there have been some problems with the converters. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it!!! When it comes to electric, I have NO CLUE. I'm amom! I don't do electric!
