House battery being overcharged????
1994 Calista Cove MH. Book says charging system will sense fully charged and not over charge the house battery. After being hooked to shore power the volt reading at the battery terminals is 14.2 volt...

My 2004 TT has the Parallax 7355 converter, it will definitely cook the battery if left on shore power too long (more than 2 weeks). The older converters don't have the smarts to switch to a maintenance charge once the battery is completely charged.
An easy way to check for overcharging is to remove the caps on the battery and check for lots of bubbles after the voltage across the battery reaches 14 volts.
You might want to invest in a battery disconnect switch if you're connected to shore power for long periods.
