True. But in theory, even if the house battery is dead, I believe (according to the manual) it should have recharged from the alternator while driving. Since that is not happening, even if the battery is bad, it is taking a charge from other sources so it isn't dead yet. I was able to fire the generator after two hours of charging from shore power.

According to multimeter no power is getting to the house battery to charge it while the engine is running, otherwise I believe I should see 13.4v just as with the other sources that are charging (gen/shore). I could be wrong though, since I have not done much of this type of work before and only God knows how these RV's are wired up. It would be nice if the manual had some wiring diagrams.

When I pull the battery to check the water level, I'll disconnect the chassis battery and remove the coolant overflow as well so I can go through all the connections that I can see, clean them, and tighten them back down.

Before I pull the solenoid though, I was hoping to find the location of the fuse for the charging system, and whether that solenoid was the only one, or if there is another one. I suppose while the engine is running I could have someone hold the battery boost button down and see if I see any change on the multimeter.
