BW: thanks, and of course. Same way that one would test the same at battery--as I had already deciphered.

Re: I have a "phantom" drainer and need to track him down

Boywonder: So from what Greg wrote, I understand that the 7amps was only the current "available" if a device was plugged in. I do understand now how to check the amount of "parasitic" drain on...

Re: I have a "phantom" drainer and need to track him down

BW, check this out. Somebody with a Roadtrek has had way too much time on their hands. On the pull down for vehicle, choose 2009 190. I have 2011 190 but it is the same. Everything else is off but...

Re: I have a "phantom" drainer and need to track him down

battery disconnect on roadtrek turns DC loads off house batteries. The caveat is that not all loads are turned off--as in the case of leaving inverter switch on.

Thanks everyone for the help. The video certainly made things clear, as I wasn't understanding what I was supposed to be testing for at the battery. I do now recall from my elementary reading, that...

Re: I have a "phantom" drainer and need to track him down

thanks to you both:

yes, it makes sense to see how much drain there is on battery.

Yes, like most campers, it has fuse box and it's accessible for testing.

Re: I have a "phantom" drainer and need to track him down

thanks boy wonder. Sorry, I would have given that impression.

No, the van sat for 12 days while we were on a trip. After 12 days, I'm saying the van battery started right up. The van had NOT been...
