First of all, how old are your chassis batteries? next did you check them prior removal? What voltage were they? Did you try to charge them with a external battery charger? How long was the interval between usage? When was the last time the connections were cleaned?
I just bought the coach a month ago so I don't know how old the batteries are but they certainly look like it's time to change them out. I put a meter on them yesterday (while still installed and connected in parallel) and they both read about 7v. Took them out this morning and they read 11.3v. Dropped them off at Autozone and he was reading 9volts...
Just got off of the phone with Autozone. One charged fully but tested bad with a load on it and the other wouldn't fully charge so they couldn't test it. So that looks like one issue at atleast!

Is this normal? I've got a few other threads about what led me to discover this. But the bottom line is that my passenger seat recliner and the auto step appear to be connected to the chassis batteries instead of the house batteries. I've removed the chassis batteries to have them tested and while they are disconnected there is no power to the chair or the step...This seems strange to me.
