    Looking for insight on adding a Battery Monitor and identifying 12v wire pair

    Hello, I have a 2021 Innsbruck 189DD. I am in the process of adding a battery monitor, hoping to get the wiring from the two external 12v batteries to a convenient location inside the camper to mount the display (maybe to where the existing control panel is?). Does anyone have any...

    2013 ERA 70X House battery shows fully charged but won't power anything

    The house battery acts as if it's dead. Everything runs fine, however, if plugged in to shore power, including the status panel, which shows that the house battery is fully charged.. The status panel doesn't light up at all when on battery only. We've had this RV for 2.5 years & never had any...

    Renogy 500 amp battery monitor with shunt

    One of three Christmas week mods. I added a Renogy battery monitor to the travel trailer to keep an eye on the battery charge, discharge, and remaining capacity. As we like to dry camp/boondock a good bit in US Forest Service land, it was a much needed accessory. Come Spring 2022, I'll add...

    A week with the Victron BMV-712...mystery discharge?

    Last week installed the BMV-712. Finding it fairly nifty. I ran through each of fixtures and was able to determine their power usage...cool. Turning camper master switch off showed no discharge....cool (nothing mysterious is draining my battery). Plugging into shore power and pulling out...

    Battery monitor

    I’m planning on installing a battery monitor in my Hideout 24BHSWE. I recently upgraded the batteries to two 6v and I want a better way to monitor them than the three led light indicator that came with the trailer. I’m leaning towards Victron Energy for the monitor. Does anyone have any input or...

    Battery monitor/Propane monitor issue

    We have an interesting issue. Our battery is fully charged, we had it checked at an auto store. However, the monitor in the RV shows it to 2/3 and never goes any higher. Also, it loses charge very quickly according to the monitor. When the monitor gets to 1/3, the beeping begins. The...

    KIB System Monitor

    I have not yet added a battery monitor, so I wanted to find out what exactly is meant by the various battery status lights on the factory panel. My 2010 Mini has a K40 panel, and I was able to find the manual for the K series online. There is so much on the forum and on the web about batteries...
