Inverter only runs when when generator runs or shore power.

Greetings, Just bought a class A and the only time the 12 volt system runs is when I am plugged into shore power or I run the gen. I know there are switches that cut off your house from the coach....

Your batteries are disconnected
Or
That is a stand alone inverter and the tv/DVD is not plugged into it

What is voltage at batteries with nothing running, no engine, no generator, no shore power
And voltage at batteries with shore power connected


12.6 with nothing hooked up, and 13.7 with shore power hooked up.
