Hi, hoping to get some help here.
I recently was able to get my Atwood furnace working with a new board. It has been working flawlessly and needless to say I was plenty warm this past weekend. But:
1. The heater stopped working on the last night in the middle of the night. It would not ignite. Still had plenty of propane.
2. The internal LED lights were dimming.
3. The fan installed in the ceiling worked fine.
4. These are the only three things that require power in the camper.
However: I accidentally left my lights on and killed the truck battery and had to be jump started. After driving 100 miles to home, the internal LED lights are still dim. The furnace fires up but sounds like it's not blowing at full speed. The fan blows. I would think that 100 miles would give the aux battery a good charge.
So obviously a power issue. my question is, if you had to take a guess, is it possible that the truck battery is too weak to charge the aux battery and thus run the heater and LED lights properly? The aux battery in the camper is only one year old.
Looking on where to start here and if I might be missing something. I think starting with a new battery for the truck will be phase 1. Also, I do not run any other power sources to the camper like solar, etc. Thanks.
