I have a 2013 Tiffin Phaeton with 6 coach batteries, that need to be equalized. The process is fairly simple with the control panel that the coach has. I will be on shore power when I do this. I understand that I need to disconnect the 12v power to the fridge and AC to prevent damage. Will they be able to run on the 120 shore power during the process. It's fairly hot right now, so not sure I can turn off the AC for 4 hours. I guess I could cool the coach down and do this closer to dark. Thanks for any help.
I have equalized my batteries twice on my 2013 Tiffin Allegro with no problems, and I did not disconnect anything. Equalize voltage to the batteries reached about 15.5VDC. I did turn the refrigerator off, and no other appliances in the Motorhome were turned on either. The process was automatic and took 3 hours .... but I only have 2 batteries. Your 6 battery configuration may take longer.
I would recommend you join and post your question to the TiffinRVNetwork.com forum. With over 14,000 Tiffin owners available you will likely get good info from fellow Phaeton owners to all your coach questions.
