indicator panel reading 11v. Newbie!!!
We just bought a used 2006 four winds chateau, its a class c. I noticed that the indicator panel has three LEDs for the battery. 12v, 11v and 10v. I'm having trouble finding out what these really mean...

Any RV supply store or auto supply store will have a 12 V monitor that plugs into a power outlet (cigarette lighter socket) for a continuous readout. Get one with an actual numerical display.
And plug it into an outlet in the COACH, not the truck.
Not only do you need the batteries tested.....AFTER a good charge....but then you need to have the charging tested too; both on shore power/generator and when the "truck" is running.
After fixing the "battery relay", mine reads:
Above 14 going down the road.
Above 13 when on shore or gen. power
12.6-12.8 after a good charge and a short rest.
And yes you can get a suitable replacement battery at almost any place that sells auto parts. Deep cycle is better;typically found at marine and golf cart stores. AGM is MUCH better but somewhat more expensive.
