So I have a 3 year old RV. I bought it used from dealer. They put in a new deep cycle battery. So I usually have the camper connected to the house AC. Last fall I tried to activate the slide out motor and got nothing. Wound up the battery was dead so I put it on deep cycle mode of my car charger. Charged up, and slider worked.
So it is, and has been on AC. I tried the slider and it is dead. Measured battery, zero VDC. So I have it on the car charger again.
I never had a camper, and I hate this one (wife idea). So LEDs work inside on AC, but battery does not get topped off by AC. I guessed it would have a trickle charger, or you just have to chage the 12V all the time? That seems silly, but again I dont know. I think this thing is just a PIA.
