More numbers (fun with multimeter lol)
HB = House battery / CB = Chassis Battery
Generator On or Shore Power HB(13.4v)
Unplugged in Use mode HB(12.7v) at this point it had been charging only about 2 hours, but it was enough to start up the generator.
Engine Running for 5 min
CB = 14.4v
HB = 12.56v
Engine Running with lights and AC on for another 5 mins (10 total)
CB = 14.3v
HB = 12.52v
Since it should not be draining down with the engine on, is there a fuse I need to check? I can only find one solenoid which is under the coolant overflow (trombetta).

I suppose if I am only driving for 6 or 8 hours and always going to be on shore power, it doesn't matter. This time I was trying to keep generator usage to a minimum since I was dry camping near a lot of tent campers and did not want to annoy them.
I think after 6 hours of driving my battery was showing at 3/4 full before I plugged in but since at that point I did not suspect a problem I wasn't really paying attention. Usually while driving the only thing on is the reefer on LP and the dash radio, plus the various alarms.
