201327hfs Electrical Issue - Not charging battery
Hi all,
I've had my Hyperlite XLR 27HFS in storage for over 2 years and just recently got it out to camp in. I had a dead battery when I arrived and started setting everything up, which I replaced given the age of the current battery.
Everything seemed to work just fine... until I noticed the battery was draining, which was essentially running the heater and everything, even though the unit was plugged into shore power.
For some reason, the shore power is not charging the battery. The last time I used the trailer was over 2 years ago, which was a dry camping trip and I used the Onan factory installed on-board generator.
I check and reset one of the fuses on the front tongue by resetting the small black button on the bottom, because at one point I lost all 12v power after tightening all connections.
Question... Is there something I'm forgetting to switch back since I'm on shore power and not on generator? Could it be the power converter that's bad, which is not charging the battery? If so, is that located next to the fuse panel? All fuses on the panel are correct.
Thoughts on next steps? I'm no electrician, but feel as though I should be able to trace this down to something.
Thanks!
