I Should Heed My Own Sage Advice
Our rig has sat parked mostly undriven in our driveway for the last 3 years. Hope to get back to camping and touring after both knee replacement surgeries. Left knee will be replaced on the 31st, rig...

I replaced the 10 year old batteries and old converter charger in late 2014. I kept a check on electrolyte levels for a while and noticed that there wasn't much lowering of electrolyte levels. Became complacent, forgot to check. I don't know how the disconnect switch got set to off, maybe dead batteries let the solenoid switch "unlatch"
My main point to share is that the house battery switch won't operate the latching solenoid switch if house battery voltage is too low. The other point is that the house battery electrolyte levels must be checked regularly even with a modern converter charger especially when connected to shore power.
Will check with surgeon on the type of knee joint metal at pre-op visit this coming Tuesday. Getting back to basic mobility after 20+ years of bone-on-bone knee joints will be miraculous. I finally got a second opinion. Knee replacement surgery has become less stressful for people with heart/ circulatory problems nowadays. Thanks for the well wishes!!
