IRV2,

You might also want to check the breakaway switch and plunger on the tongue of your trailer. Essentially it is nothing more than a plastic box with two spring loaded contact strips...

While you're connected to shore power, you can charge each battery individually with the power center/converter in the trailer. Possibly you can use that for one battery and use the stand alone...

ADDED: The reason for charging the batteries separately (not at the same time on the same charger) is because if one battery has a shorted cell, it will not allow the other battery to charge fully,...

They may recover with adequate charging. If I were you, I'd charge each separately (not hooked to the charger at the same time) on a 10 amp automatic charger, then reinstall them and see what...
