I had this same issue, on my 2008 Ford F350 DRW. Our TC is an EC1160. When we first got the TC I noticed that the batteries were not getting fully charged. Did some tests and determined that the voltage at the back of the truck was at 13.4V. This was enough to keep the batteries charged but not enough to fully charge the batteries. Since, we like to boondock this was limiting our stay to a couple of days. at that point we would have to find a site with electrical to fully charge the batteries. My solution was to change out all interior lights to LEDs, stop running the electric jacks when we are boondocking and finally installing 300W of solar power. The solar did the trick now by noon the batteries are on float charge. Now what limits our boondocking is the size of the grey water tank.
