IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT I CAN CALL TO WALK ME THROUGH TROUBLESHOOTING? I'm trying to get my rig, see sig, ready to go tonight. I started flushing the water system and while the tanks were filling I re-installed the three 12v batts. The gauge (idiot lights) in the rv came up dim and then went completely out. I have power to all the interior lights and water pump. I have turned on the LP gas to start cooling the fridge, but nothing is coming up on the lights. I also can't get my gen to even crank. IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE THAT I CAN CALL TO WALK ME THROUGH TROUBLESHOOTING?

You've got to get those batteries charged. Have you got shore power available?

Are the batteries charged? Have you checked the voltage on the batteries? Do things work when plugged into shore power?

you said you installed the batteries. Check to see if they are installed correctly. If you have a volt meter check them individually, meaning you will have to unhook them from the system, then check them. Once you know they are hooked up and good then check your circuit panel fuses and breakers. that ought to get you started.

Charged all the batts this week. Re-installed the way I took them out. Going to go out and uninstall/re-install them now.

Try installing one. If all works fine you've paralleled them incorrectly.

Sam - your questions are most entertaining - I bet a gallon of 78 octane you hit it.

He triple posted.
He posted his solution in this thread.
He connected the batteries with reverse polarity.
Closing this thread.
