  Take a look at your battery. Is it the original? Is it an AGM, traditional lead acid, lithium? Where is it located. Can it still hold a charge? Get that sorted out before your first trip.

  Lead acid, but it appears to be holding a charge via solar at this point.  Thanks for the heads up.

  I only bring it up because on my first trip, I thought my battery was solid. It charged up fine and worked well in my driveway. But I stopped one night at a Cracker Barrel to rest, so no shore power. I was awakened at midnight to low batt smoke alarms and a low battery. It was a long night. Turns out my battery could not hold a charge. It must have been allowed to degrade below minimum voltage before I bought it. I tested it when I got home and found high internal resistance and it couldn’t hold a load under a real load test.

  Welcome!  It’s a hoot learning your trailer. There’s a ton of information on the site. You’ll figure out your camping style and have lots of opportunity to learn. Have fun!
