What did you do to your Class C MH today???
This is always a fun thread to watch in other forums, so I thought I'd start one here.

- We keep ours on shore power all the time.
I checked the propane level and took the
portable electric heater for the nights
with short freeze times to save propane.
So far this has worked well for several years.
Last year it dropped to 6* for 2 nights,
which is very unusual for this area.
No problems with this being done. - Serviced the V-10 and oil change on the Onan. Removed the doghouse and discovered some debris left over from some rodents living in the valley of the engine. Cleaned the air filter on
the genset and same thing. Little bits of paper and insulation around the air cleaner. Guess those cold winters in Minnesota were tough on them.
Finished up installing the new dinette, wife is happy. - Done a walk around and plugged in to charge the Batteries, trying to hold out for one more outing before I Stowe it away for winter. I'm wanting to do a thanksgiving camp with my boys, Maybe burn a turkey. It's already winterized as far as the water and tanks go so it will be bottled water only and of coerce we have to find a place with an open bath house/shower.
- Spend four hours cleaning and preening the RV.
- Put in a new 100w inverter. Pretty slick with the one button right underneath. Got this one for #10 but Walmart has a 150w for $20 right now thinking about another for the TV in the back.
- Winterized so on bottled water for the next 8 days. Then I head south, though sadly, not in the RV this time.
- Winterized. Big cold spell coming. Down to mid 20s in Oklahoma City next weekend. Pretty cold for this early in November. Why take a chance?

My question is does the on board charger that is suppose to charge the aux battery's suppose to charge the engine battery? puzzled?
Before you purchase anything measure your engine battery voltage before the AC is plugged in. Most it will be likely 12.2 to 12.6 volts or less. Then then measure the DC voltage when the AC is plugged in and the house batteries are charging. If you see 13.2 volts or higher on the engine battery when plugged in then your converter is already charging the engine battery and you most likely have an engine battery problem not a charging problem.- Picked up the new dinette. Removed the sofa bed and starting the installation process.
