Dead batteries woes
Hello
Well I've been at it for months now and cannot figure what is draining both my house and chassis batteries. 99 bounder with a cut off switch for both. I cut off the chassis battery and can hear a click at the control box. Most things shut off, like the ignition and power step, but have noticed it still has power to the cigarette lighter, LP detector, power to the generator and maybe the fridge. I don't think the cut off switch does anything to the house batteries. Both batteries are less than 4 months old, a marine rv for house and regular battery for chassis. I turn the generator at least 1hr per day to keep them topped off but sometimes I come to find one battery dead or both in less than
a day. I've use a multi meter to find a drain and I get none. When running the generator my chassis battery is not getting charge, instead is being drained as is connected to the generator and needs 12v to run if I'm not mistaken. This whole issue is making me pull my hair, since I will be living in it for a few months with no shore power.
suggestion are welcomed. Thank you
