Been in contact with Lippert.
Amoung emails sent, I sent the following:
We used a multi-meter on each battery while raising and lowering the rear 4 supports. One battery dropped from 13 volts to 12.4. The other dropped from 12.7 volts to 12.1. (They were still hooked together at the time and hooked to the trailer).
I would think that neither drop should cause the system to trip. Also, while the batteries are showing this drop, the display is still showing much less voltage under load (in the 10 to 11 volt range).
Their last response was:
The system will go by the actual battery voltage not the display. You will need to replace the breaker.
Coachmen has had an annual Service and Seminar Rally in Michigan and when we were there a couple years ago, Lippert was there. Will try and get it fixed then.
