<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;”>I have been reading with interest about charging issues with the Toptron charger.</span>
<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;”>I have a 2001 with said unit and need some help. The Toptron unit failed about 3 years ago and I sent it to Leisure Electronics who repaired it at a very reasonable price.</span>
<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;”>For the last 2 years it has behaved and worked properly but has now failed again. When I connect to the mains the unit starts to charge and the LED above the door is RED, it may go to Orange but within half an hour a relay in the Toptron unit will start to chatter and the LED goes to Flashing RED and the ammeter shoots up to 15+ amps.</span>
<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;”>I have taken advice on this and told it could be the batteries so I have checked the two 105 amp hour batteries individually and put them on a separate charger to recondition them. At rest they sit at 13 volts which is enough (12.7v) to make the Totron unit work.</span>
<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;”>If I switch the Toptron unit off I can still use the 12v lighting, pump, toilet etc. and have to rely on the Solar panel to keep the batteries charged. If I remove the Toptron unit to send it away the Motorhome is just a glorified van and I can’t use it.</span>
<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;”>I would really like a proper wiring diagram for the Hobby 750 and not just the one in the Operating Instruction Book. Can any one help?</span>
<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;”>Also has anyone replaced the Toptron unit for something else to work with the Control panel above the door or the Toptron Unit and Control Panel together.</span>
<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;”>I love the motorhome but this issue is starting to get me down. Advice on any of the issues mentioned above would be much appreciated.</span>
<span style=”color: #000000; font-family: Calibri;”>Thanks Martin.</span>
