Thanks for all of the replies! Hadn't thought of the charging situation. The alternator seems to bring it up pretty well but then what do I know. What might be a better solution? And when you all bring up the charging situation are you talking about when I'm parked or when I'm driving around?
My MO is to park for a day or two then drive somewhere else. I'm rarely in one place for long.
Are you relying upon the coach battery monitor system to determine battery SOC ? If so, don't - it lies.
"Parked or driving around". Is the engine running parked ? Doesn't matter. You are obviously not getting enough amps back into the battery as compared to what is being taken out.
If a limited budget is a consideration, a portable battery charger with the Honda will be best.
Is the coach convertor original ?
AGM batteries require a different charging scenario than lead acid. Lead acid require an occasional "equalization" charge that differs from that of most AGM's
Specific gravity can be measured on lead acid, AGM's, you can't.
