Hi all-
Just picked up an Aliner used and have some questions about charging the battery while at home. If I plug in to an outlet to allow the battery to charge, do I have to press the 120v button to 'on' while doing this, or do i just leave it off and the battery will charge? Thank you!

In the 1990 Aliner I had, the converter would not charge the battery. There was a switch on the front to go between the battery or the converter. To charge the battery, you had to hook up a battery charger to it.

So first you have to see what type of setup it has.

I see you are a new member . . . welcome. This post actually belongs in the Folding Trailers section. You will get more help there as there are a lot of Aliner owners there. As the mod to move this post for you.

I am not aware of any 120v "on" button. We need more information on the converter. Give us the brand and model number.
