Might be a good idea to add it to the list of things to check periodically when storing while connected to shore power.
Batteries that are completely dead will not recharge from dead just on shore power. This is by design. Thanks for the info from this forum. I hooked up my trickle charger for a while and all three batteries started to charge fairly quickly.
There is sufficient parasitic drain to kill all three batteries in less than a month. I don't know exactly when they died, but it had been about a month since I last ran the coach and generator.
The mold under the dash still has me pretty annoyed. The only way it could have gotten in there was from below. I now have to find a good way of sealing that to prevent future mold forming there.
Thanks again for all of the great information.

Sounds great but I would check the batteries for capacity, they might read good on the charger but without a test they might have less than full amperage output
