Forest, thanks for that input. I went online and did a little digging. thanks for peaking my interest!
Here is what I found out about the unit on my Vegas. It is a WFCO
WF-8955 PEC. Total output 55 amps, 3 stage system. By total that is split between all 12volt devices. Battery charging, lights, frig, fans etc. It has 3 modes of operation:
Absorption Mode: (nominal voltage) 13.6 volts
Bulk Mode Quick Charging voltage (load dependent) 14.4 volts (it noted this might be hard to see if other loads are present apparently it drops back to a lower reading)
Float mode Trickle Charge Voltage 13.2 volts (after 44 hours of no significant load variation it drops from 13.6 volts to 13.2)
That is in line with the voltages I've encountered the last few months of observation.
