New coach, old (charging) question....
Hey guys, 1st time poster here. Been a member since '02 (what's that tell you) but finally got life in order enough to settle down with a coach! The wife and I just picked up an '00 Itasca Suncruis...

So I was out playing with it a little more this evening and found something interesting. When I have the master cutoff switch for the house batteries turned off I do not get a voltage reading on the panel inside the coach when I flip the switch to the house battery voltage test setting. I have a smart (agm style) charger 12/14/16 volt for my race car battery and hooked that up to the house batteries. Once I did this, still with the battery cutoff switch in the off position, I then could get a voltage reading on the panel inside the coach... This was all while not being plugged into shore power. Any idea why the panel would show voltage with a charger on the batteries but not when they are at rest? I did not have a chance to probe the leads coming out of the converter but I'm leaning towards that being the culprit. Until I can get a new one I'm not going to connect to shore power. For now I'll bring the battery charger out there and give them a bump here and there.
