[A/S] Battery dead resolution
This must be a normal occurrence, as my Argosy acts exactly like
this. When I first noticed it, I thought that the furnace was going
to need work, so I went through all the normal preventive maintenance
stuff, like taking it out and cleaning it, loosening off the
thermocouple and retightening it to ensure a good ground connection,
etc. None of this helped. Then I changed the battery and put my
spare one in, and it worked like a charm.. I get about two nights
with not too much extra use on a battery in November here in Ontario,
and then I have to put in the extra battery and charge the primary.
Since I have the Honda genny with me, and it has the battery charge
feature, it works well doing it this way, and I have furnace all the
time, and no battery acid fumes boiling up into the trailer, as I
charge several yards away from the trailer. But the fan did not
stop, and it cooled the trailer down pretty good in November, blowing
cold air.
