Battery discharge while on shore power.

[KelloggKid]

Starting with the 2018 model year Airstream began to use a different converter and also changed how the Use/Store switch operates. In the new models the batteries should be receiving a charge regardless of the position the switch. The OP's manual is correct. I would think ether his converter has gone bad or there is a blown fuse.

This was my situation as well. No power to the converter = no charging

Hi

The whole deal of "charging with the switch this way" is simply a matter of a single wire going to one lug vs the one next to it on the switchover relay. It turns out that some percentage of trailers get wired (randomly) different than the rest. There's also a lot of cut and paste in the manual's verbal section. The words are often out of sync with the wiring diagrams.

A $10 DVM from the local big box store will answer a bunch of questions very quickly. No need to get a fancy one, just go for price. Use it once and it's paid for. Keep it on the trailer for the next situation like this one.

If the converter has 120V on the input and 12.2V on the output then either 1) the converter is fried or 2) the battery is fried. If the battery is not getting hot and shooting steam, I'd bet on number 1.

JakeS, the above response is a canned response by some pr people that Airstream has hired to make it seem as if they are responding. Though I don't doubt they forward your info to Airstream, it seems rarely if ever does aAirstream act on that info. If you want info from Airstream, your best path is to call the customer support line. And be persistent.

Without a multi-meter, it's really hard to confirm. However, I would like to thank everyone who has commented. It's really frustrating when the dealer tells you nothing is wrong and you get back out camping and you have the same issue you originally dropped it off at the dealer to fix....

Is there a reset button on your converter?
