Hi,

I can't seem to locate the house batteries on my 2004 Fleetwood Fiesta.
Last year I paid through the nose to have the dealer replace them.

Well, they are dead again,
I have no idea where they located and can't seem to find tech information on the Fleetwoods website.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks

Years ago I helped someone at a football
game with dead batteries. We look for them
a LONG time.......found them under the front
bumper.

Have you tried under the entrance steps ? That's a common place. (At least in the 2 Coachmen Class C's and a Winnebago Class A that I've owned.)
Good luck,

They may be up front in the engine compartment area or possibly under the steps.

I can't see how one year old batteries could be dead already unless, a) the charger is overcharging them and boiling out the water, b)your battery cutoff switch was left on and the load from the sensors drained the batteries, or c)they put in used batteries.
Do your coach lights come on or the stove vent work?

Thanks for all the replies!

I will look under the steps.

When I fired the Generator a interior light was on,
I would assume that is the reason for the dead battery.


Thanks for the great advice!
