The converter/chargers which Thor installed in my Vegas and Axis never worked as the should. Neither ever started in the boost mode and one never went into maintenance mode. That meant that running the generator to charge up the house batteries took forever. And, I could not leave my coach plugged into shore power without damaging the batteries.

Thanks for the detailed response. I agree with everything you wrote. The fact that I never see any less than 13.6 volts during long time storage, is one reason why I use a maintainer with the batteries disconnected. Perhaps a high-end RV has a better charger/converter.
