Hi All! New to the forum and new to RV'ing, thanks in advance for your time. Last June we purchased a 2007 Keystone Hornet model M-37 FKDS that is parked at a year round campground. Yesterday was my first de-winterization and I ran into multiple electircal problems. Shore power was connected all winter and the deep cycle battery was left in place too. When I opened her up, the following don't work:
the slides wont move
the fridge won't power up
interior lights dont work
heat/ac/fan wont come on
water heater wont come on electric (didn't try gas)
Stereo wont come on
range hood light and fan wont come on
The following did work:
TV
Microwave
GFI outlets
No fuzes blown or breakers tripped. I didn't have a meter with me so couldn't do much with the battery. I pulled the battery, took it home, and put it on a charger so will see if that does the trick next weekend. My concern is that it seems the battery should've stayed charged and even if it has a bad cell it seems like the shore power should operate the lights, water heater, etc. Basically everthing except maybe the slides. I'm worried that I might have a bad converter. Thoughts?
