Hello Fred and Everyone,
Thank you for the details! Thanks to you I now understand that "off" doesn't mean not drawing power, and power from both coach and chassis batteries. I do not know if house batteries are dead or not. I was preoccupied with the car seat and radio power.
Could the electric car seat and radio run on the coach batteries rather than the chassis?
I will return to the RV in two days to check RV. Is there a way to "see" the charge in the coach batteries? If the RV starts welI will have confidence the battery is ok.
The battery was (is) new and this incident would have been the first time it drained. It started instantly when jumped from hand charger and it only charged for as long as it took me to climb into the RV. It sounded like a good start, no struggle, no rar rar rar if you know what I mean. :D
Now the turn signals stopping working WHILE I was driving has me worried as this might be related, but with an added problem like poor wires or ... Well quite honestly I have no idea. Fuse?
Thanks to you all in this forum. I can't believe what an awesome resource this is. I am just a newbie (does the RV world have a name for us?) but I am already envisioning spending my years RVing!!
