How to Change a Touring Caravan Battery
Рет қаралды 159
Күн бұрынIn this episode I change the Leisure Battery in my Caravan. A few days into our maiden trip we discovered a problem. Although the Battery voltage was stable the Battery was generating a lot of heat and I when checked on my @VictronEnergyBV battery sense it showed an alarming temperature. I take you through fitting a new battery, what to look for when things go wrong and why batteries get hot.

As with all my videos the items I fit are my personal choice, I am not endorsed or sponsored by any manufacturers mentioned in any way.

Ah right ok, the second box power the rear set of movers. A common issue is wiring as it’s not the same as the front box/set of movers. The rear wiring is slightly different, main power cables stay the same but the thinner motor cables need to be swapped, motor 1 fitted to motor 2 output and motor 2 to motor 1 output. They also need the polarity reversed too, so red to minus and black to plus. This should sort everything out.

Try running the mover off of the wheels and note the direction of rotation. Standing on the side with the habitation door both rollers should go clockwise and anti clockwise on the other side. When turning the caravan to the right the habitation side pair of motor should spin as normal and the other side should speed up and slow down and visa versa when turning left. Have you had any work done on it?

Hi ya, found the manual for the AWD. www.powrtouch.com/wp-content/upload. Pages 18 & 19 are the ones regarding motor wiring. I’ll be filming a dedicated motor mover episode soon
