New Shamrock is home, no battery power to unit.

All fixed!


Checked the battery it is fully charged, but nothing works in the camper. Is there a switch or something we are missing? Is a 2017 (but it was made in 16, don't understand that), Shamrock 21ss.

Thank you all! Problem solved. We were looking thru the paperwork, but asking is much easier.

Naw, we told them we were former hybrid owners. Only problem is, this one is completely different than the one we bought in 2008.

It was the battery disconnect. We did the walkthrough, we told him we were previous hybrid owners, so we did it quick. Everything on this one is different, should of seen me trying to put the bunk end up. Only took me about an hour. This is going to take a few weekends of driveway camping to get everything down.

The Youtube videos on the fan method to close the bunkends is priceless. Works like a charm and makes the closing the ends super easy.
