What is year, make and model of the rig?
What chassis is the rig on?
have you had the battery tested?
You could just have some corroded battery terminals.
Another item depending on make and model of the rig, is in the battery control center the ignition relay is not working. This provides power to coach manufacturer installed items and some accessories such as the radio, electric mirrors, step.
Thanks. 2005, Four Winds Hurricane, Ford V10. Not sure of the chassis.
I tested it with a multimeter and the chassis battery was at 12v in the morning which tipped me off to the fact that it had drained out (not sure why) and I charged it and it's now a nice 12.9v.
It has a "salesman's switch" at the stairs with both a chassis and house battery kill switches. I thought you have to have both on for the shore power to keep both batteries charging. So I left both switches on while I was sleeping. Perhaps the 15amp power wasn't sufficient to power the heater and charge the batteries at the same time? But why would it drain the chassis battery?
