Electrical Problem

[Feroglio]

I have a 2006 Roadtrek RS Sprinter. I bought a new battery in July 2022 and it’s now dead. I’ve checked terminal connections and tried to charge it via shore power but to no avail.
As of today even shore power will not power anything in the van. Could this be an inverter problem? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to the Forums


I don't have your model, the below is very general, you will have to locate where Roadtrek hid the electrical components in your van


there is a ac/dc "converter" to provide dc power ( and charge battery) when you are on shore power.*
the converter may be under a cabinet, under a bed or sofa- they are usually tucked out of the way



1.) check that AC power is getting to the converter
a.) check circuit is "live" by plugging a lamp into it, if power is coming from your house, check the breaker
b.) check ac circuit breakers in your van ( they will look much same as the breakers in a house panel


c.) if the ac is getting to the van you should have working 120 volt outlets and microwave


2.) check the roadtrek power panel ( not the vehicle fuse panel), you may also have 12 volt DC circuit breakers check these.


3.) the converter itself may have fuses, check these ( often at the output cables/connections )


* an "inverter" takes 12 volt DC power from your battery and turns it into 120 volt AC power
