Thanks Mr. Wizard,
I drove home from LazyDays 5 hours and the coach batteries were down to 9.3 Volts.
Voltage on both sides of the Trombetta contactor was the same - approx 13.4 volts. That would indicate that both battery banks are charging.
The two statements above conflict with each other.
IF.....the battery bank is reading 9.3 then they obviously are NOT being charged......or they are dropping off IMMEDIATELY upon removal of the charging voltage.
Details are important.

It is possible that the system is TRYING to charge the batteries but they are so sick that they won't take a charge at all.
