#1 mistake when new owners change the battery, is mixing up pos. and neg. wires.
this will trip a resettable breaker switch, located between the battery and the front of the trailer, along the tongue frame.

which wires to do you have to the battery's pos. terminal and neg. terminal?

electrical problem

Turns out theres a 10 AMP fuze located in junction box right behind tonque. Although it didnt look broken swapped it out and back in business. Thanks for the help.

Check the fuse on the converter. Mine blew once while putting the battery in.

can some one take a picture of this box, I have a 2000 wildwood I think it is a 39BBHS and we have no spec on it and we had a battery last year that was over charging and we are afraid to keep the new one hooked up that it might fry.
