This thread has been so helpful. Thanks everyone.
When you store, to maintain the chassis battery you plug a battery minder into the always hot 12 volt cigarette type receptacle bottom of dashboard? What does "plugged into slide out mean?
Is there a reason I can't power the coach using an standard 15 amp household current, that would keep the inverter topping off the house batts. The run a cord from an AC outlet inside to (since I'm plugged in to AC) to the Battery Minder. BTW I don't see a 12 volt adapter as standard to the 1500. Do you just cut off the clamps and attach a 12 volt plug?
Or should I just cut power to the coach and attach a battery minder to the coach batts and another to the chassis.
