Batteries dead...won't start

The chassis batteries do not charge when hooked up to shore power out of the factory. But some individuals have made some modifications to their coaches where both house and chassis batteries will charge off shore power.

Get a Smart portable charger and hook up your chassis batteries and let them charge for several hours. If they are not shorted out, they will pickup the charge. Most of the time you can jump start with the house batteries, but if the chassis batteries are too far gone, even the house battery jump will not help.

If your batteries do not pick up the charge, then you might have to buy a couple of batteries. Best place I found was at Napa. I bought two of their heavy duty sealed batteries and they have lasted now five years and still going strong.
