Battery Problems
2003 Airstream Classic
I have had to fill the batteries with water twice this summer and have heard a hissing noise in the vicinity of the inverter. Today my wife called and said there was a "chemical" smell in the trailer. She unplugged the shore power and opened the battery compartments to let them vent. She said the batteries look bloated. I am assuming that the inverter is not shutting off, but charging the batts continuously. Does this sound right?
Also, what does the battery cut off switch do exactly?
Can we camp without batteries?
Can you haul without batteries?
We are supposed to leave tomorrow morning for a 4 hour drive and then to camp at a place with AC.
Thanks for your help!
