2008 Safari Sport stopped charging

I changed the battery and it appears that it no longer charges while on shore power (not sure about when hooked up to the tow vehicle). How can I check it? I don't even know where the charger is. Recommendations? Thanks.

how do you know it no longer charges?did you put a meter on it?is it flat?you may have a bad new battery...shore power goes to it and keeps it charged...car battery keeps it charged while driving...this is a very sleepy section of the forum,maybe post the question on the battery,general repair section for a better answer to your question....M

La Nomade.. why did you hijack this OPs thread with your own vanity-pics?

P and Y: The converter is what supplies charging circuit to your battery. It does so thru the battery "switch" also known as the "Use/Store" switch. Make certain that switch (big lever, usually located near front cabinetry inside the trailer) is on "USE".
If still no charge, check the fuses and operation of the 12 volt circuitry of the converter, usually located near the floor behind a black plastic hinged cover.

I live just west of Austin and have the same model 22' Sport and if you need help, maybe we can meet and I'll help you check it out.
