Thanks Snack chaser! I intend to clean the battery posts. I’ll check those out. Charlie

Thanks John, Here’s what my fuse looks like. Are they easy to remove and install? Charlie

The readings are as follows: IMG_1306.mov

The voltage directly from the batteries with my multi tester is reading 12.7 V. My Inverter is on. My 3 way refrigerator is not turned on and is therefore not drawing any power. My maxi fan is running on a slow setting. The solar Xantrex controller is showing that I have the 11.7V right now, and is indicating that solar is sending current into the unit. They are new batteries. You see, I’m preparing for our next camping trip this coming Thursday. Does any of this make sense? Charlie

I have AGM batteries that test with my multi tester as having full power. However, the Xantrex indicates “dead batteries”, even though the voltage reading on it says 11.7V. It seems to indicate that the Xantrex is not reading the batteries correctly.

Today, my unit suddenly indicated through the Xantrex solar unit that the batteries were dead! New batteries as of last year! Circuit breakers checked out fine. Why is the system apparently draining the batteries?

Btw: How do you lubricate the front hydraulic lift? I probably should look at the manual.

John, I do use a voltage checker on shore power. I’m not sure I have the ones you are showing. I’m not near it right now. It is yellow though. I am plugging into a power plug in my barn where I store the camper. It is a 15 amp circuit. Don’t you think that if I have opened all the campers circuit breakers, that it must be a problem before the camper? The electric cord or the piece you plug that into to use house current?

John, I did check the shore power. However, when I opened all the circuit breakers in my Oliver, the shore EFCi still tripped. So, that should indicate that the electric power cord itself is bad, or the adapter that you attach to it to plug in a normal plug is bad. After disconnecting the power cord to the camper and just plugging in the adapter and the clean power checker I had, the shore circuit still tripped. So, I’m suspecting, and hoping it is just the plug adapter that is bad, not any circuit of the camper itself. What do you think?

On the Dometic control behind the rear dinette seat, I’m getting a E1 error (Reversed polarity?) . How would I have reversed polarity, and how would I correct it. Batteries read real low … As low as 3.7 V. But now 4.9 while solar charging. Checked wires under left dinette seat. All seem tight.

I checked the cable contacts and the contacts where you attach the cable to the trailer. All seemed tight, with no wiggle room. I also tried throwing all the circuit breakers under the left dinette seat. When I plugged into shore power again, it still blew the GF on the barn plug. Does that definitely mean the cable is bad? I have used the barn plug other times with no trouble. Never blew the GF.

When I plug my Oliver into shore power, it blows the circuit on the shore socket! Suggestions? I have checked the GF under dining table’s right side. I have checked that no Oliver circuit breakers were tripped. My front hydraulic lift is working on and off. Possibly there’s a short in there.

Thanks Snackchaser, Just tested voltage on each of the 6 v arm batteries. Each read 6.5 v. This was when not on shore power. Still checking to see if this trend continues. I’m not connecting shore power. Figured I would see if the batteries maintain their voltage. Charlie

Forgot to mention, that one battery strap was corroded ( plastic buckle). Will have to replace that. Charlie

My AGMs are 6 V, not twelve. Have thought about Li batteries. Pros and cons. I take it you are satisfied. Thanks Charlie
