Thanks Harry, I really appreciate you getting back to me. I looked on the forums a little deeper and it looks like some people have installed the Blue Sea Battery Link ACR 7611. That device would do what I want to have happen. I guess it never occurred to me that Triple EEE would not have installed an Automatic Charging Relay (ACR) as part of the standard build. My 2003 BigFoot had an ACR as standard equipment so I thought all rigs had them. I guess I have another project for when I am next home for a stretch.

Only thing that charges your chassis battery is your diesel mb engine, so you need to drive it. When parked & have 120volts you could attach a trickle charger to chassis, or a small portable solar panel. There few other ways, or disconnect the batteries.

Hi all, We have a 2023 TB Unity. We have been home for about a month and the camper has been plugged in to shore power the whole time. The solar has been getting lots of sunshine too. Despite all that, the chassis battery has dropped to 12.4V. I just ran the generator thinking at least that would charge the chassis and still no effect on the chassis battery. Is this the expected behavior and my only options are to keep charging the chassis or disconnect its battery when we are staying in one place for a while? Is there some switch or fuse that I need to throw or change? I just read the post by Gail - I can see that maybe the problem is that the Firefly system is not showing a correct voltage?
Either way, it still looks like maybe none of my coach power systems charge the chassis battery. Thanks

Do not install a Satelite it is a waste of money and they are sort of one dimensional. We installed or got a Starlink ROAMING Dish and it has worked flawlessly about 40 times. All tvs are smart now a days and you can get many many more options with your tvs than with a satellite dish. You also get internet and boy is it fast. If you are in a wooded area get a flag pole extension and or a spare 150’ cable. See YouTube and all the options for both and compare. Personal,y I would not even consider a satelite dish or weingard stuff. It came with ours and we never use it.

Try giving the door side latch a couple hits with a hammer to bend it back a little so the door latch does not hit it with the flat parts of the latch as compared to the angle on it. This seemed to fix mine.

My engine battery on. 2021 unity seems to only last about 7-10 days when not in use and setting idle. This is getting to be a real downer when you want to go on a trip and the LTV won’t start. It seems odd to have to disconnect the battery if it sets for a week just to make sure it will start. Cars can go for a month no problem.
Any suggestions why it is happening and what could be tried to fix this. The obvious is leave it p,urged in which is not an option always or disconnect main battery by foot well which is not always remembered. Thanks.

I talked to the techs at Triple E about this problem and the person I spoke to suggested that I adjust the plate on the coach door jamb a small amount. With the adjustment of the door jamb, we have not had the problem any more. To add more clarity, we have the grey/silver exterior and a 2023 model Unity TB. What I did was to loosen the screws on the plate on the fixed opening of the door that the door latch and bolt mate with. I then made adjustments vertically and horizontally to make the plate match up better with the door latch and bolt. Then I tightened things up. It took me two rounds of adjusting it to get what I wanted but it works great now and has not hung up so far. Over the next couple months, we will be in higher heat areas so, fingers crossed.

Are there any good Video demonstration the Winegard 2.0 setup using the new "Winegard "Halo app". There are a few short and sweet Halo app video's on Utube but they are "robotic" in nature and go thru the material very fast.
Since Winegard now recommends using the Halo app versus the older Winegard app, it would be nice if someone would create a like video of such..

Selling my 2014 LTV Unity MBU due to health issues. Had it less than one year and offering a great price. I originally bought it used from a dealer and have performed all maintenanced since then. I have an interested party wanting to know how many owners. I only know of one plus myself, but I would like to verify ownership history. Use to CarFax and Autotrader for cars, but not sure about RVs. Any suggestions, please, for a site that is trusted and not terribly expensive. Thanks a lot.

Direct Tv or Dishnetwork. We have had Dish for years & years! Have Winegard Traveler on our Wonder roof, we take our Hopper receiver from our house & use it in the Rv. We can record on the road just like at home, when stationary & skp all the ommercials. No extra cost from Dish, we just tell to change our locals to our current locations. Old fashioned but still works for us.
