I have only used 50 amp service with my 2004 Monaco. I am somewhere that only has 30 amp service and I am having trouble. My batteries keep going dead. Was trying to run fridge and hot water, NO AC. I...

1. Keeping the 12 volt coach batteries charged has NOTHING to do with 50 or 30 or even 15 amp service on a Monaco.
2. The odds are you have an Inverter/Charger, but you need to state what model RV you have. MOST Monaco's had Inverter/chargers
3. The Inverter/Charger 120 supply will NOT be affected by the EMS system you have in your Monaco.
4. What you PROBABLY have is a faulty circuit on your 30 amp dogbone adapter or the 50 amp transfer box. Do ALL of your 120 outlets and 120 appliances work in the RV? I do not mean to run them all at once, but individually to verify ALL 120 circuits have power on your 30 amp service. Doublecheck and turn OFF all your 120 breakers and turn them back on. Do NOT just look at them. Do you have an Inverter that powers the Microwave and TV's? If so, verify that the Inverter is turned OFF. Then verify you still have 120 power to the Microwave and TV's. If you have NO incoming 120 power to the Inverter/Charger then your batteries will go dead. Especially if the Inverter is ON, that means you are running those appliances on Inverter and that means your batteries are supplying the power to run the Inverter and that is killing your batteries. Last, your Charger section of the Inverter/Charger may have failed. How are you getting the batteries recharged? Doug
