Thanks to anyone who can shed some (ahem) light, on this problem for us. Perhaps it's a wiring problem, perhaps it's a converter problem, or perhaps I need to keep the solar panel on the battery and run the lights and sensor from that, and let the Shore Power handle the outlets and fridge? If anyone has any insight into this I'd appreciate it. And the local dealer seems hesitant to get into the problem. I don't want to go back to the dealer because we bought the unit out of town and it's a few hours drive. The converter is OEM from the dealer/manufacturer. Has anyone else had this issue? I have no wiring diagram, and that seems to be a consistent complaint I've seen on this converter. The fan on the coverter runs, and the manual indicates it is supposed to charge the battery automatically. From then on, no lights, which is a pain, and no sensor, which is a problem. Once the battery dies the alarm on the gas sensor goes off, and we need to scramble to pull the fuse to shut it off. So i bought that and have it here and have not yet had time to install. I then went to eBay and found a new Centurion 3000 1200XL for 40 shipped. We don't use the lights much, but I suppose it's enough to kill the battery, which is only 2 years old. I figured the problem was in the converter and checked my dealer only to be quoted 250.00 for a new 'replacement to the Centurion 3000' converter. But the lights and the gas sensor appear to run off the battery, and kill it in just a couple of days. When we do, the fridge and all 120V outletss work fine. I charge this batter while towing, and also with a solar panel I duct tape onto the roof of my '01 Palomino Colt.Īll works well until the rare time I use Shore Power. We rarely use an electrical site, almost always running our lights off the battery on the tongue. Maybe someone can help me with this problem.
