RE: Water pump sucking air
How about disconnecting the inlet pipe to the pump and blowing backwards into the tank? That may clear any blockage...

RE: So tell me about your perfect couples travel trailer
I will throw in the Keystone Cougar 22RBS, 2020 vintage. King size bed, theater seating or dinette option. Sturdy build and extremely reliable. So far. Only 9 k miles on it. Perfect for two but card playing will be under the awning at the picnic table.
We thought about this one, but went with the 26RBS. 2 a/c units, theater seating recliners and dinette, and a KING bed. We replaced the mattress with one from Wilderness. It's perfect for the 2 of us and the dog...

There's nothing wrong with Fasco motors. They're very popular in the HVAC trade as replacement motors...

RE: Recommendations?
Our Keystone Cougar has a king bed. That weighed a lot on our decision to buy this model...

It's this rod. I'll just plan on buying a new one before camping season.

Anode Rod Wear
What would cause severe wear to the rod at the connection end? Almost no wear on the rest of the rod. I use teflon tape on the threads. Two brand new rods, two years in a row.

RE: Imagine 22 mle or Cougar 22 mls
We've got a Cougar 26RBS. Love the king size bed, although we replaced the mattress with a Wilderness. We were really tired of the RV queen size. The reclining theater seating and the 50" TV is nice. No problems with build quality.

RE: Low Battery Voltage
OK. Regardless of all of this, I'll be getting a new battery. Went to Harbor Freight and got a cheap load tester and a CenTech 30a Circuit Tester #67724. Also cheap. It replaces the fuse and reads the amperage. I could get the battery to read bad if I kept the load on for 10sec. Interstate RV/Deep Cycle. 405CCA, 505MCA.
Fridge circuit .8-1.3
Propane detector circuit .2
The TV antenna is on one of the circuits and can't be turned off like in our last camper.
Converter voltage 13.6
Voltage at the truck plug 12.6
So, is the AGM battery worth the extra $100 compared to a flooded battery?
When parked at home, the camper is always plugged in. Good or bad? Or should I just use a battery tender?
Thanks for the input and help...
The AGM offers nothing in your situation (one battery-rarely off grid). More importantly, until you are sure there isn't a systemic problem, no chance burning up a more expensive battery.
Can I assume that the amp readings on those 2 circuits are normal? All other circuits were 0...
Yeah, that sounds fairly normal. What was the amperage direct off the battery terminal (this should include everything)? If it's 1-2amps, there's no major hidden draw.
Overnight (say 14hrs), that should be 14-28amp-hrs, which shouldn't kill a fully charged battery in good condition. (It might be down to 60-70% by morning but certainly not 6v which is beyond dead).
1.1-1.2amps at the new battery, measured with my new DCa clamp-on meter. Also have a new battery tester and a new 12v circuit tester. All good things to have, and it took a simple problem for me to get them. I'm glad it was just the battery all along.

RE: Low Battery Voltage
You need to verify voltage from TV and battery to the 12 volt DC distribution panel.
Is your refer a three way or a two way? If three way it should be set to LP.
I will do this tomorrow. The fridge is 2 way and is running on LP...

RE: Low Battery Voltage
The battery tested good again at the local garage. SnapOn tester. 405CCA tested at 450
Voltage 12.7 connected to TV, not running. 13.6 running. The same voltages are shown on the InCommand touch screen.
I've connected a different battery, turned on the fridge like last night and will see what's happening in the AM.
I'll have to get a DC clamp-on meter. Mine's AC only.
It appears there's no way to switch off the 12v to the tv antenna...
