House batteries off gassing with Tripp Lite
Hi everyone, I have a 2005 Chinook with a Tripp Lite charger/inverter model 612. Both of my Wal Mart Everstart group 27 batteries have a terrible smell. All the settings on the Tripp Lite are correct...

Thanks for the replies everyone. My RV has a Mark PV Controller, for the solar panel I believe. It shows the battery voltage at a constant 13.2 volts.
You failed to include important yet rather "obscure" details like inverter/converter PLUS SOLAR = House batteries off gassing..
Perhaps you should include a bit more detail like solar panel wattage AND qty of group 27 batteries?
Failing to give complete details = lots of guessing.
By the way, USE A SEPARATE VOLT METER OF KNOW GOOD ACCURACY connected directly to the house battery.. This WILL give you a much more accurate picture at to what is going on.
Pretty fair chance that your solar panel volt meter is not accurate and or you are just reporting what it is SET TO.
Small details like the wiring resistance between the solar controller can skew the voltage reported.
