![]() ![]() Ya, so KZ talked to the dealer on our 12 volt issue and they're working on it (at least that is what I was told March 2). More $ probably on 2 lithium batteries and solar. So we'll be working through that over the next year. We understand the frig amp usage will kill the battery is less than a day. The dealer we bought it from in Ohio said no issue running off of battery and it will save you on propane. We're not real experience in the technical aspects of campers but learning. ![]() One regret we are working through is getting the 12-volt frig. We can run on shore power with no problem. wire or I believe there is fuse in the area. I think they are currently thinking it's in the disconnect switch. Monitor panels don't give you the best readings on battery but ya jumping like crazy. So I'm sure glad, I went as its over an hour drive, and replicated our problem. Battery dropped from 90% to 80% to 60% in less than 5 minutes according to monitor panel. Letting them figure this out but I'd be looking at the disconnect switch, wiring, fuse, etc. Dealer had the disconnect open/green the whole time when using shore power and never moved the disconnect switch. They started and stopped, started and stopped. Went to the monitor panel and the slides didn't go out. So I drove over this afternoon, went to the camper, turned the battery disconnect off then on. Okay so dealer said they had no issues and slides were working fine. I also posted under the General RV under 12 volt. Regardless the heater worked wonderfully and the camper warmed up nicely.Įdit: When buying a new camper be sure to run your unit off of battery especially the slide. We go to National Parks quite often that have no power hook ups so understanding our batteries charge is important to us. So going to get the battery tested and hopefully we can figure out how we can best understand the charge left on the battery. We put on our battery charger and it showed 60%. When I shut down the heater the panel jumped to 50%. Now we're testing other components like the heater and the battery % on panel dropped to 30%. So FF is either fully charged or in the process of charging. If we put on our battery charger it will read like 60% and the monitor panel will read FF. What we are learning is FF really means the battery is charging when plugged in or it could mean the battery is fully charged when no plugged in. Got an email today from iRVC1 along with the owners manual and in the email stated FF meant the battery is fully charged. After talking to the dealer and then KZ/Venture customer support we discovered it's not a Lippert monitor, not a KIB monitor, but an iRVC1 monitor (which was a surprise to the Venture tech team). ![]() When we picked up our camper the monitor panel read for battery % FF which just didn't seem right to me but was told it meant battery is charged. My original thread inquiry was under the General category and opening here under Sporttrek Touring. ![]()
