Mine is on 450 if you have the light on when you plug in the switch should be on and the house batterys should charge as I only plug in my rig about once a month for a week for the winter or so it works use a volt meter to check. the chassis battery is another story it does not charge on shore I hook a charger a couple of times a winter to bring it to full charge. Not worth my time to figure it out just charge it. I keep in a unheated shed and this is north Idaho.

I have a dodge 2002 2500 4wd that has the same 2 batterys that came with it only use it rarely now for snow drifts ect. It sets outside temps. down to 30 below and still starts. There is no name on the batterys may have to research doge if they go bad

Plugged in not charging

I have had similar problem. My 17 Freedom Elite has been plugged in last two weeks and when I went out to move it today, battery acts dead. Monitor says it is good, no breakers or fuses bad,but radio doesn’t come on, no back up camera etc. will start troubleshooting further tomorrow but looking for suggestions.

We once had an RV that had a big sticker by the switch to turn it on before plugging into shore power and turn it off after unplugging. So we've just gotten into the habit, open the door, turn it on. Turn it off as you walk out after putting it to bed. We have no issues that way.

No light on the Axis 25.3 either, just a spring loaded toggle switch...

Use/store and starter battery

I have an Axis 27.7 and it happened once while plugged in for a week at a site with the use switch in the on position, mine has a light to show it's on, when I went to leave, the starter battery was dead and I had to "boost" it with the dash switch. Comparably, I have it stored in an inside unheated area, it's plugged into 120v, I accidentally left the switch in the on/use position and about a week later it wouldn't start. Dash switch to the rescue again. It sits in my driveway unplugged for weeks and starts every time. Why would the starter battery be going dead when plugged in and the other 2 batteries don't?:
