In my 2023 Tellaro, the BMPro settings menu allows you to shut down the controller. Hit the gear icon, go to “Solar controller settings” and make sure “operating status” button is ON.

Hi guys. Yes, what Mark54 said. There is a simple fix for this, possibly different from what Mark referred to. The regulator (in my case Balmar 618) has an adjustable setting for “MAX FIELD %”. ...

Tellaro “parasitic” battery draw lowered

I think most motorhomes have some battery draw with everything turned off, and then still some even with the rotary “disconnect” switch off. I never got my Quantum Class C to draw less than .8 amps,...

Greetings. I have a 2023 Tellaro, UHG, 2 RELiON (LT) 100ah batteries, 618 regulator.

I installed the Balmar Bluetooth gateway and I’m considering making a few changes that I’d like to run past...

Also, make sure your battery switch is on. The charge you have accomplished may have been just from solar.

If those lithium batteries are “awake”, which I’m sure they are if they’re up to 40%, and if you have the UHG (second alternator) they could be accepting about 150 amps while driving and probably...

I think at this point I’m clear that I won’t be using the Winegard, but I will be using the lights! So… I’m headed up to the roof shortly.

Thanks, again… Joe

Rear, passenger side turn signal bulb blew!

Has anyone had an opportunity to replace a passenger side, rear turn signal bulb on a Tellaro? I think it would have been very easy before the conversion by Thor…. Not so much, now!

Disconnect Power from Winegard

Just to clarify, is it the case that you’re not holding water - it’s draining out and you need to stop that? If so you do need to find the valve or petcock for the low point drains, assuming thing...

Yes, I agree. It’s too bad the UHG doesn’t heat first, then charge. Seems like a simple thing to accomplish.

Worst case I can lug along my 3,000 watt Generac inverter generator. It’s fairly...

House Battery Charging Issue on UHG

Hi David, thanks!

I’ll have to go back and look again closer because my controller seems to be just a black box with the 4 wires coming out the bottom. Maybe there’s a cover over the unit but it...

Thanks, guys!

Good to know the fuse may be behind the switch rather than buried somewhere, where I’ll never find it! And I am going to get the Bluetooth dongle.

Yeah, the exact instructions...
