Well the Motor Home has let me down again.

Manually exercised it and now generator carries A/C load.

I think we fried the charger. Not sure is that is part of the inverter?
When the engine is running batteries are being charged.
I would really like one trip without drama.
Maybe we have had the drama for this trip early?
