Hey All!
I’ll keep this brief as I just typed up a long post and somehow got logged out before submitting.
My question is for everyone but for any F250 owners would greatly appreciate your feedback! After a recent 8 hour trip back from Fort Wilderness I realized my camper battery was drained down to about 50% from running the fridge and whatever else was drawing power. I checked the fuses in my truck and apparently have 2 labeled for “tow battery charge”. One was fine, one was blown. I suspect that was the whole issue so after searching several places including 3 Ford dealers I finally found fuses that I believe will work although they are slightly different than the originals. I haven’t taken a trip since to really test if it’s working right or not but hopefully that’s the fix.
My first question is, assuming the battery charge is working properly, what should I expect and is it enough coming from the truck to compensate for the 12v fridge running? Should my battery stay fully charged?
My second question, maybe more specific to the F250 owners is how
I can test the voltage coming from the truck to the battery charge? I can’t find which pin from the receiver plug would charge the battery, nor am I sure the best way to test it?
What is y’all’s experience with this and does your TV provide adequate power to keep the battery charged while in tow, specifically with your fridge running?
