We are heading out on Sunday for a 1 week trip in the
Casita. We have a 2004 LD. I trickle charged the
battery to a full charge, then turned the
battery cutoff switch to "off," only to discover that the
battery is still very much "on." I need to plug her in to shore power so I can get the
fridge cooling. We have an older converter. I know we either need to replace the old switch or upgrade the converter, but I'd like to wait until after our trip to do it. It would be nice to not have to manually lug the battery out and disconnect it every time we want to use shore power.
My questions: How long can I leave the rig plugged in to shore power before the fully charged battery overcharges? Do you think I should just use
propane to get the
fridge going?
