I have a new Winnie Thrive with a 12 volt Furrion refrigerator. After we turn it off, leave the trailer, we shut off the battery connect. If for any reason we need to turn the battery back on (through the disconnect switch) the refrigerator automatically turns on. So we have to be sure to go in...

Hi there folks! I'm posting because I have troubleshooted to my wits end. When I first got my rig - 1995 Kountry Aire 37' Ford 460 v6 7.5 ltr Motorhome Chassis the coach battery worked fine. Then the electric stairs got bent a bit and wouldn't retract all the way. So it made a little...

Greetings experts!!! I have become very frustrated with this issue and am hopeful you folks can provide some insight. I am not the original owner, so what the prior owners did, no one knows. The journey began when I decided to hook up the disconnect solenoid, which for whatever reason had been...

We JUST bought a 2008 Coachman Leprechaun 319DL, Ford chassis. Everything seemed fine when we tested the systems initially: all the interior lights worked, the appliances, water pump, slides, everything. When we stopped for the night and the interior lights wouldn't come on, we realized it had...
