Charging systems
Hi I have a 97 Pace Arrow Vision. I'm pretty new to RVing and am not quite sure what to expect from the charging systems.
I used to own a boat and had it set up so that when an engine ran it charged the starting battery and the house batteries. Also when the sun shined the solar panels did the same. It utilized some relays etc. to accomplish all that.
I have a few of those same relays in the RV, but don't have adequate schematics to see how the couple up the batteries, or even if they do. Before I spend time tracing where everything goes, I thought I'd check here first.
What should I expect from the charging systems?
If the Genset is running, should it charge both the house batteries and the starting battery?
If the engine is running, should it charge both the starting battery and the house batteries?
If plugged in to the 30amp outlet, should it charge both the house batteries and the starting battery?
Thanks in advance for your input!
