We just came back from FL. and like by the end of our 2nd week there, our refrigerator stop working on battery and our tv stop working, it went on and then it started making this loud beeping sound, which I latter found out to be this ac converter box that the tv was plugged into. So if I turned the refrigerator to a/c instead of d/c, it worked as long as we were on shore power but not on battery. I just cleaned the battery terminals and added some distilled water to a couple of cells that were a little low, because no matter what , the battery was not getting any charge, so let's see if this works. What I can't understand is the loud beeping and the why, and why the tv started going out as soon as the beeping started. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks. Latter. Louie.

Two words - Low voltage (at the battery).
The fridge will kick out at around 10 volts and most inverters will chirp a low voltage warning and switch off at around the same value.
You need to find out why the battery is low.

If it was a _loud_ beeping, and unless you're sure it was from the TV, I'd suspect that it was the low voltage warning from the CO or LP detector. It's telling you that it's no longer to be trusted to do its job because it's not getting the correct voltage.
So X3. A battery or charging issue.

Thanks guys, I keep the RV plugged in to my home on the driveway, otherwise it charges when we are on the rd, and at the camp site. Right now it`s connected to the house, I have to go see if the battery it`s charged or not, I1ll keep you posted. Latter. Louie.
OK, after 2 days of keeping the my PW plugged into the house, I unplugged it today and checked the battery at the multi panel and got a red light, tried the ceiling lights and got nothing, after 2 days of charging, I expect to get something, but not even a low voltage beep when I open the door? what`s going on?

Start by disconnecting your charger/converter from your battery bank and check the output voltage of the charger with a volt meter (DVM) to determine if your charger is working. Also have you tried charging your battery(s) by running your RV engine?
I see from your profile that you have a PW Excel. Not sure they're wired like the Roadtrek, but I think they have a battery disconnect switch. Make sure you're using whatever their correct order of plugging in and turning the battery switch on is. IIRC, RT's require that to be done in a certain sequence for the battery to charge.

If you do have a Pleasureway, be sure to check and reset the two circuit breakersnext to the modular disconnect. Thy tend to trip sometimes when pluging and unpluging from shorepower. The info is in the owners manual, or PM me with your email address and I will take a picture of mine where the little button on the side is.
