Why Would RV Battery Discharge When being Towed
Updated 11/03/2025 | Published 01/29/2025
Question:
I have a 2022 Ram 3500 dually. When I am on the road towing my fifth wheel the batteries in the fifth wheel are discharging rather than chart. Any suggestions?

Hey Danny, well the current has to be going somewhere. Are there any accessories you are leaving on in your RV when it is being towed? What is the current charge setup for the battery?
