![]() ![]() I recently replaced the 8-12v house batteries on our 2016 Newmar Mountain Aire, not because of any issues, just because we plan to use the MH quite a bit this year and they were close to 7 years old. These are designed to plug into the RV park’s electrical pedestal and detect any electrical issues before you plug in. If you don’t know how to use a voltmeter, learn or get an electrical management device. Don’t plug into an RV park electrical pedestal without checking the power source.That may be okay to just run the converter to keep batteries charged, but that’s about it! You will ruin the AC and burn up your wiring. Don’t plug your RV into a 15 amp outlet using an adapter, and then try and run your Air conditioner unit.Turn them back on when you need them, and not all at once, especially on a 30 amp RV! Be sure to turn off your major amp drawing items, and you will avoid tripping breakers when you get to your next destination. The lesson from the example above is don’t unplug your RV without allowing your appliances to cycle off before shutting off the main power.They only had 3,600 watts available to use, at most! And when an air condition first kicks on, it requires approximately another 500 watts. ![]() ![]() Perhaps it was the main breaker in the RV, or perhaps the breaker at the electrical pedestal. ![]()
