I assume you have a digital voltmeter from your previous comments.
You said the converter (battery charger) is new......so I am wondering if something possibly is hooked up wrong at the output of the converter and DC fuse panel. When on shore power, what is the voltage reading you get on any one of the DC fuses on the fuse panel at the end of the bed? Is it 12.1 vdc or is it more than 12.6vdc?
Now disconnect the coach from shore power. What is the voltage reading on any one of the DC fuses?
Leave shore power disconnected. Since your coach batteries are at 12.1 vdc you should recharge them by starting the coach engine and use the alternator to charge both chassis and coach batteries (this may require you to turn on the chassis battery disconnect switch if equipped). Wait abut 5 minutes after starting the coach engine and then measure the voltage across both chassis and coach batteries. What voltage readings do you get on both battery strings?
Assuming the coach battery latching relay is still on, what voltage do you measure on any one of the DC fuses on the fuse panel at the end of the bed?
