I have the basic equipment, nothing fancy. The usual control boards and whatever else is going on. No inverter unless I turn it on.
Reason I ask is I started with 13.04v after a gen run. I let it sit 5m and took a reading. The RV sat for 3.5h and volts dropped to 12.69. Trying to understand where the .35v went.
Thanks.

Well I’m no expert but I believe 12.7V is the textbook full charge reading. Immediately after charging there is a little bit of surface charge that needs to dissipate. Sometimes you’ll see instructions to turn the lights on for a moment before checking the voltage to do this very thing. In your case it was just the passage time. I think you’re fine. To be sure you can check it again in a day or two and it should still be close to the same.
