Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.
We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!
The only way my house batteries are getting charged is by running the engine, and I lack the knowledge and energy so far to identify and resolve the problem.
Have a Freedom 20 Combi Inverter/Charger, and a Freedom/Heart Interface Remote Control Panel. The panel is not recognizing that shore power is connected, but the shore power runs everything but doesn't charge the house batteries.
The generator puts out plenty of power (e.g. will run both air conditioners), but doesn't charge the house batteries.
Everything seems to be hard wired and I can't find any "cutoff" switches between AC input, the generator, etc.; and I can't find any obviously blown fuses.
Do I simply have a damaged or bad inverter/charger???
Bet there is a little black button on one of the battery leads. It will be on a small grey box (1.5 X 1.5). The small black button is very hard to see. I would go to the battery box, trace out the red wire and see if the reset I am talking about is found. It is on my 5th wheel, but it is an 06 model.
