Shore power

OK... Coach batteries won't hold a charge very long. Have to jump them for using generator. Then I have back AC for a while, and sometimes front kicks in, then stops.
BTW its Been 92o for the past
4 days in P'cola. I think I'll get a mobile guy in to fix.
Thanks everybody. Every day is an adventure,!!!(

PS...I just flushed the toilet and the back AC went on. Nobody saidthat would work! LOL

    what did u do to solve the problems u posted about in your other thread? the one where the front ac would not work or the tv
    at all and now you saying sometimes it kicks in?
    your posts are very contradicting so hard to help
  • When plugged into shore power for a few minutes, go measure the voltage across the chassis battery. You may or may not measure 13.8 volts.

    If you do, disconnect shore power and measure again. If it's 10 volt or so, you have a bad battery. Replace.

    If you do not, than you need a Trik-L-Start or similar device that'll keep your chassis (starting) battery topped off. Do not depend on the roof mounted solar panel as those are too small to do anything worthwhile.
