Not wishing to highjack this thread, but I have related question and thought it would be better to put in this thread instead of starting new one.
Thanks

Not wishing to highjack this thread, but I have related question and thought it would be better to put in this thread instead of starting new one. Stored my Tiffin for 30 days in Georgia and was very careful to make sure both chassis and house batteries were shut off. Inverter off. Was unable to get any electricity for charging due to storage facility. Coach started right up, but NOTHING worked off house batteries. (4 6v, golf cart batteries). Not even dome light would light. Had to use emergency "jump" from chassis side to get generator going and charge house. Drove straight to campground. Have not checked battery charge since plugged in. 2 questions;
What the hell killed my house batteries? Any idea what could bleed them to death in 30 days?
Will they have useful life for a little while? They are original in coach and probably 2 yrs- 3yrs. old.
Thanks

This may be a dumb question, but when on shore power do the lights still work off battery or the 120? I assume battery or inverter.

Battery has been disconnected since then.
I just went out and checked voltage on battery. Reading on volt meter was 12.3. I reconnected the battery and tried the house lights(LEDs). They would not light. When I pushed the power button for the fridge , its indicator did light up.
