Inverter issues
I have posted this in the tech forum already, but was hoping to get more info. I have a 2007 Coachmen Cross Country and am having inverter issues. I have already narrowed it down after a lot of trial ...

I've never seen a magnum like that...
Regardless, you need to check each cell of your house batteries. Pretty sure you have a shorted cell.
Isolate the batteries, turn off the inverter charger, disconnect the big red wire, unplag from shore power. isolate them and let them rest for a half hour or so.
Take the fill caps off.
Check each cell with a voltmeter. first, neg on neg terminal, positive in the liquid in the nearest cell.
second voltmeter leads in the liquid of the first and second cell. and so on down the line, check each cell individually.
Each cell should read right around 1.6 volts.
A shorted cell will read much less.
