Re: No Battery Power - troubleshooting help
That was it, all's working!
Thank you all so much for the quick help. And mostly for sparing me an embarrassing conversation with a service tech (not to mention the fees).
I will get pictures before disassembly.

Lost taillight wire
My passenger taillight on 2020 320SBD has had a variable number and location of lights that worked. When only the three bottom ones worked yesterday, I tried to rewire it. The connection to the white wire was probably the problem because it separated from its connector as I wrestled the wires out of the hole which I had to enlarge. The other end of that wire is inside the trailer.
Any suggestions on how I can access it to retrieve it?
Re: Solar upgrade for 2024 320 Black Canyon
At night the solar produces zero power, so if you have anything on in the trailer, consumed aH is always going to show a negative number first thing in the morning. Then, as the solar produces power, that negative number should gradually diminish (as long as solar power in > power being used) until consumed aH gets back down to zero.Joel said:
But the shunt reading confused me. Around noon yesterday it said "consumed Ah" was 0Ah, even though the trailer had been "boondockiong" in my driveway for four days, and a few days before it read -25Ah. This morning at 6:30 a.m. I checked again and overnight the battery had dropped to 13.07v and consumed Ah was -27Ah.
Does that seem normal? I can see how the solar charge varies, but how can I tell what my usage is, and more specifically, what I can do to reduce that usage?
"Consumed aH" is actually "net consumption." I agree it's confusing and Victron should improve the labeling.
That said, -27Ah is a pretty big drop overnight, though. What do you have running in the camper? Is the fridge set to 5 (would cause the compressor to run almost nonstop)?
Re: Sewer hose storage and putting screws in the front of a 2023 Tab400
LOL!!!! My wife refers to it as the Rocket Launcher too!!! I love the idea of getting some symmetry. Perhaps loading it with the liquor bottles! Your installation on the underside IS really quite outstanding! No matter what, it is such a welcome addition to have the hoses handy and not squirlled away in TV or under bench and dripping...

Based on my experience, it's a pavement princess IMO with out modifications.

Re: WOW!! Well, here's some solar info some folks might find interesting!!
Well, I certainly would not have thought that. I was considering that cover, but now... maybe not. That's interesting, thanks for sharing! By the way, have you considered putting the body in that patch of dirt to the right?
Re: 12 volt fridge
In our fifth season with a 12V compressor fridge. The heat produced has never been a significant issue. If it was, manufacturers would have a system to vent it out of the trailer. Wouldn’t be that difficult. Proper ventilation for a propane fired fridge is more about serious safety issues than heat.
Over the years we’ve up our solar to over 700W. Even on cloudy days it produces enough to power the fridge indefinitely. I’ll admit, the $400 we recently spent on a 400W Renogy suitcase would buy a lot of propane, but getting the reliable, consistent refrigeration that the original 3-way in our 2020 320S never offered is worth it to us.
Re: Norcold works with shore power but not propane
The sane thing happened to me recently. It sparked bot no propane to light. I cleaned to fire box, the therm-o-coupling and set the clearance between the wire and the burner = still didn't light. I took it to Vogles RV and the tech called NorCold. They told them to take the unit out, turn it upside down and reinstall it. Now it works!??
Re: Water pump death (?)
Hello again.
I decided to try the pump again. It turned on and sounded normal but it gradually got louder and louder and began shuddering and sputtering so I shut it off. Additionally, I heard gurgling and bubbling noises coming from my fresh tank.
It’s nice to know the pump isnt fried but my water system def has issues.
Thanks for any insights, ideas, advice.
KS.
Re: Empty space behind toilet
Is the water pump in there, too? It is on the S models, along with a lot of other plumbing and electrical bits that are virtually inaccessible without six-foot long Gumby arms. I wouldn't store anything in there unless it's something you never hope to see again! :-)
