Engine battery and house battery questions.
My coach sat for about 8 weeks. Went to move it and the engine battery was dead, drained, kaput. House batteries were fine, they were replaced recently with new deep cells. Anyway I used the bypas...

1) is constant trickling to 13+V better for batts?
2) does the GM 2005 chevy 6.0L have a live DC receptacle as standard (not RV builder) feature
3} what worries me most is could the DC receptacle cause some other dashboard lights/gauges/switches to blow a fuse?
1) Better than a slow discharge? Absolutely, positively, without a doubt. If in the vicinity of 13.5V or higher then keeping an eye on battery water level becomes increasingly important.
2) No idea. It's not too hard to find out by checking things.
3) No, not with any sensible trickle charging current. As long as your trickle charger is putting out no more current than the receptacle is rated/fused to power, you'll blow no fuses...and if you have that much current, over 10 or 15 amps, it's hardly a trickle charger anymore in my estimation.
