Trying to get a hold of Paul Bridges. Paul if you get this can you PM Allen Wehr. Thanks.

Sent you a PM Allen.

Morning Paul, apparently I am not savvy to the use of messaging on this forum.
I’m having issues with inverter/battery concerns when traveling. When we get to destination stop, inverter and fridge is off and inverter has a fault error message.
I read you experienced similar issues and I think it read you replaced your batteries and problem solved.
Is this info correct or do I need to look into farther?
Appreciate any advice you can share.
Allen

Yes Allen, that is how it worked for me. A little more troubleshooting is probably important to make sure it’s not something else.

My first indication was the landing gear. When bringing the gear up and not plugged in to anything, there were a few odd hesitations and change of speed sounds it had never done before. The next time I auto-leveled, I got a “low voltage” message on the control pad. And it was the next travel day that the inverter went nuts with the fridge.

Are all your other 12v systems functioning normally (slides and landing gear) without plugging in? You could also get your batteries load tested.

For me, batteries were three years old and dealer-installed, so I knew it was probably time. Quickly replaced with a couple of Interstate Deep Cells from Costco and no more problems.

Thank you Paul, I took them out this spring and had them tested, the auto dealer said they are good.
I just need to replace them and see what happens. May be a weak cell that doesn’t hold charge.
I think I now know how to PM others without using new topics.
Sorry I had to go that way have not been on here for a long time.
Hope all is well with you both. Be safe.

Paul, if I may ask one more question:
Apparently I still do not know how to contact another owner in a private message.
How to I get a message to you or anyone without posting a new topic?
If u have a minute could u walk me thru it?

Allen

Shane does it list the name of the handle several go by?
All I saw was the handle if you don’t know that it doesn’t help.
Thanks for your help I’ll check it out again maybe I’m missing something.

Yes
It shows the handle and under that first and last name

That makes it a bit difficult if you don’t know their travel name.
I put in first and last name and it wouldn’t pull anything up.
Oh well I don’t use it much anyway. Thanks.

I agree Allen. It's always taken me a little work to use the PM on the current website. We're working on an improvement!

The search function on this website is probably great, but I've always found it a source of some frustration. Just don't use it enough to be super proficient at it.

Bless you guys in your travels!!
