On a recent trip I had the misfortune of draining my Lithionics down to the point where BMS shut them off. At a campsite without electric I was running refrigerator on propane and ran out of propane. This switched fridge to DC and depleted the batteries overnight (they were already low do to cloudy weather). That left me with the "fun" task of hand-cranking the jacks up which of course was in a torrential rain storm. As others have said, hang in there. Leverage this forum and online videos to get comfortable with trailer functionality. There's a lot of technology in these Ollies!

That is a fun story in retrospect, the rain especially, one you will remember vividly forever. If you carry a generator you can boost the system in an hour and be on your way. Or add a DC to DC charger in the truck or trailer. As delivered there is no charging available that way.

It is a fairly painless mod, but if your TV has a smart alternator you would have to run a small voltage sense wire up to it, which turns the charger on and off.

Also consider a Mopeka propane detector - I have mixed feelings about mine, it tends to eat batteries but when working it is very handy.

I'm a bit confused by the information in this thread.  Does the 12v system (lights, pump, fans, tv, etc.) work when on shore power but not when disconnected from shore power?  That would be bizzare imho.  If there is a short in the 12v connections (seems likely from your description of problems plus the SHT message on the See Level monitor) I wouldn't expect shore power to fix that.  It would also be an interesting data point to push the button on the Xantrex remote "in" so that the inverter would try to work without shore power (the pic you sent has the Xantrex button "off" or out).  To try this, push the Xantrex button in while on shore power then disconnect and see if anything works (12v and 120v).

Good luck - electrical issues can be frustrating but as others on this forum have mentioned, it's almost always a loose ground somewhere.

More details and info may help the many knowledgeable owners help you.
