The coach batteries are the chassis batteries. My thought is if the kill switch is turned off no power should be used for anything on the chassis. The 4 new AGM house batteries are charged by a solar controller 600 W solar and Magnum 2000 w PSW charger/inverter. We are plugged into 50 A as a camp host site.
We do have a cell phone charging off the 12 v dash cig plug in and wondering why that works when the kill switch is shut down that controls the chassis power.
OK, now you have learned to call Chassis batteries what they are. They are not called Coach or house batteries. WHICH battery disconnect are you talking about and where is the disconnect located? Usually on most Brands of Motorhomes, the Dash charging ports are controlled by the Coach batteries because they realize that people will want to use them for their phones and such while camping. HOW long does it take for the chassis batteries to go to 8 volts? Usually on Monaco products if you turn the MANUAL battery switch OFF at the rear, that kills the chassis batteries. If you are just turning the entry door battery disconnect OFF that only kills the Coach batteries and it should NOT be OFF when using the RV. Doug
