Hi there! Brand new owner of a 2021 Imagine xls 21BHE. I took an orientation from Camping World that was less than thorough as the tech had never seen one before. I’m reading through the Owner’s manual, yet not finding it detailed enough. I installed a Furrion back up camera which worked intermittently. No power at the connector, so I put the battery on a charger thinking it was dead. Nope. Reconnected the battery and now nothing. Checked the breakers and they’re on. No power from battery; no power when hooked to my truck? I’d appreciate any help you can offer. I’m scheduled to leave for Kentucky to do tornado relief work with Samaritan’s Purse next week, and want to solve this before going. Thank you in advance.

Hook up to the tow vehicle and turn on the marker lights. A lot of camera's now are wired through the marker lights for power.Joseph

One other thing, not certain of the year of the TV (tow vehicle) but some of the newer ones do not have enough power through the marker light circuit to power the cameras.

You will find through the members here and the moderators (who remember a lot more than me) someone may have either had a similar situation, or have the same TV and experienced the same or something similar.Joseph

When on battery power the breakers are not used, they are 120 v ac, just for clarity.
Follow the wires from the battery down to the frame of the RV, there should be a connection point there that will be a self resetting breaker. There may also be a fuse in this area that you could check. If you have a multi meter check to see if you have battery voltage on both sides of the main positive connection, should be the red wire. Also check that there are no other wires that were attached to the battery that you may have missed.

BirdieGirl -- what leads you to believe the battery is good? in the original post is this statement, "...so I put the battery on a charger thinking it was dead. Nope." How did you come to this conclusion?Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, we have nothing to gain should you choose to purchase a product or engage a service we discuss on this forum.

Here’s what I see under there. There is power in all the red wires including the one to the tongue jack. . No loose wires noted. Is the fuse inside the silver box? It’s dark here now, so I’ll have to start again tomorrow morning.
I can’t thank everyone enough for their suggestions and kindness in responding.2021 GD Imagine xls BHE

My landlord tried to help me, found no power at the camera connector and said the battery was dead? That’s when I tried to charge it and it was fully charged. I also checked the positive post of the battery with a meter - there’s power there. The red wire from the battery also shows current. I can take it to O’Reillys in the morning to be tested…Last edited by BirdieGirl; 05-08-2022, 08:24 PM.2021 GD Imagine xls BHE
