2002 monaco setup charging system

Thanks everyone without your help I would have been overwhelmed long ago. I have 4 six volt batteries duracell bought at batteries plus 255amp hrs at 20 hour rate how do you set up the charging system xantrex power sharing I have the diesel generator 50amp a book would be nice but I do not have those pages I found some pages in the bay compartment when I bought it and many were wet and ruined. The batteries were bought new in january 18 I do not want anything else to go wrong at least that I can prevent so a simple explanation would help because I have dealt with so many problems on this maiden trip and being disabled does not help for those of you that have kept up I pulled myself onto the roof and the awning problem is solved until I get home it is pinched in between the slide so if the slide is not used no unfurling in the wind this I would like to get right. Is the 1020 amp hrs divided in half since they are 6 volts? then how do you set up the charging system thanks in advance Semper Fi

    Deveild,

    Your house bank (if it is described accurately) is 12V Nominal at 510 amp hour. In series you add the voltage and in parallel you add the capacity. You should program the Xantrex based on that.

    If you either call the manufacturer or do a web search, you can probably get a manual for the generator. Have the model number handy. I do this by taking pictures of the data plates.

    Few RVs ever came with a complete owner's manual. Most came with a folder of the manuals from the individual manufactures of included devices. There is no reason you cannot recreate that yourself.

    I'm not sure what you're looking for but if it's an owners manual for your Xantrex system you can download it HERE.
