Ours is an 03, only one cable to coach batteries. Converter doesn't connect directly to batteries, it's on the other side of the disconnect solenoid. Go Winnebago website and you can download electrical wiring diagrams for your coach.
A friend of mine said maybe I accidentally hit the "kill" switch for 12v to the coach (by the step) and it discharged because of that. I've owned the coach for fifteen years, so I guess i should know this, but, is that a "plausible" theory?
That's possible but your converter shouldn't be charging your chassis battery. It should be charging the coach batteries. Is it possible you swapped the main positive cables for coach and chassis batteries? As mentioned 4 6v batteries in series is 24 volts. You should have 2 in series paralleled to another bank of 2 in series. Make sure switch is on to connect the batteries. Disconnect the positive cable from the coach batteries. Disconnect shore power cable. Do you have interior lights? If so you swapped the cables and the lights are running off of chassis battery. A volt meter sure would come in handy.
