Appreciate the replies.
Re: battery - either the RV seller or the original owner upgraded the battery to an Interstate 24M-EFB (77 Ah).
My understanding is, this doesn't behave the same way as a conventional lead-acid battery for charge cycles.
Re: smart alternator - we ran into these issues using both the TV to charge and using shore power hookups to charge. While I'll pursue more info on the TV side of things, I suspect the issue may be somewhere else.
Re: warranty coverage - As stated, I bought this trailer used - "as-is". Aliner (I assume my fellow Aliner owners know the person with whom I spoke by name) doesn't extend the warranty past the original owner and seemed almost hostile at first when I called asking for more information. Told me they couldn't supply even the manual for my specific trailer, that I "should have received it from the dealer." (This, after making clear I bought the trailer used.) Am waiting to hear back from the fridge mfr, but not holding out much hope on that - especially because I did not receive a specific proof-of-purchase for the reefer, which they require to register the device.?
Re: converter - there were no labels. That's what I'm working on this week: tracing circuits to everything on them. I have a basic readout from Aliner, but need to confirm (after discovering the fridge miswired into Fuse 1) that things-as-installed match things-as-described. At least the RV repair place gave me a detailed rundown of what they tested and what they found. They did check out the TV wiring thoroughly, because it was our DIY job. I understand about wire gauge affecting safe function. The RV electrician said they were scaled appropriately for what was needed by that battery.
I do plan on an LiFePo solar system later, but as you might imagine, after a 5% surcharge in the form of unexpected repairs just three days into ownership, we do not have the money to pour into alternatives right now. I'm trying to solve the things I can do myself, for the time being. Will look for that 12V voltmeter - saw someone else who had installed an analog meter for each leg of the power system for continuous monitoring.
?
Thanks again for the welcome and your thoughts.
