Re: House battery issues
Thats my assumption too that one of those is a ground so there should be two on the negative post.

Re: House battery issues
Yeah good to know I can plug it in. Here's my next question is it safe to start the van while its plugged in? And could the fridge draining the battery be the cause of the clicking at the isolator or...

Re: House battery issues
Ok I plugged it in and immediately heard a humming - turns out that turning the fridge knob to "off" isn't off it actually clicks off so ... NOW IT'S OFF. Wonder if that drained the battery enough to...

Re: House battery issues
I would have just replaced the breaker since I saw them in Walmart last night for a mere $7 - they didn't have the right size. They had a 50amp instead of the 30 amp.
I have also not attempted to...

Re: House battery issues
I'm wondering if my isolator and other equipment are failing since it is a 1987 van with no updates to anything. I'll try plugging into shore power and see what that does.

Re: Full-timing in the van - Meg
Does the van not have a cigarette lighter? You could use that for the immersion heater until you get a better 12v outlet. Just be careful of the battery draw

Hang in there, Meg. For tea get a 12 volt beverage/ soup heater. Walmart carries an immersion heater I believe. It's a little heating element that you put in water/ soup and plug into your 12 volt...
