I also have three batteries for the coach so I am going to get a charger for sure. Does it matter which battery I connect to? Should I leave it on since my inverter/charger is not currently hooked uo to charge the batteries? I have cranked up the RV twice now in the last two days as it seems the solar panels I thought would keep the batteries topped off are not able to do that (maybe because it is cloudy )?
What do you think?
We have 420 Watts of solar panel and even in Mexico sometimes have to revert to the Xantrex charger, so unless you have some pretty awesome panels they won't be supplying enough. Most people (including me!) tend to expect too much from their solar panels.
What size charger did you buy--how many Amps?
If you can, connect the charger to the same terminals that the main battery cables are connected to. In the short term, connecting to one + and one - will be fine.
Once you get the House batteries charged you should connect the charger to the Chassis batteries to top them off. There will always be some drain from them--smoke detectors etc. On ours, they (the chassis batteries) also power the slides which takes a lot of current. Then put it back on the house batteries.

If the electrician fried the transfer switch, ALL he had to do to get you operational, while the transfer switch was on order, was to connect the shore power to the output side of the transfer switch. After that, everything in the coach would run as normal. The transfer switch is ONLY there to transfer power between shore power and generator.

The chassis battery may or may not charge from the coach system. You may need to run the rig to get the chassis battery back up.
If the tech connected it up correctly, the inverter charger should be working unless there is a problem with it or the DC fuse.

We have a 2002 Itasca that originally came with I think 3 group 31s, though they may have only been group 27s. When we had got it there were 4 group 24. We replaced those 2 years ago with 4 GCs. We also carry a 2/10/20/30/40A charger which has been extremely useful over the years.
We changed out the converter to a Xantrex Prosine 2.0 Inverter/Charger.
