Howdy all!
So I went to pull my 2015 Tuscany XTE 36MQ out of storage today to have a state inspection and the 1 yr Freightliner maintenance performed. Coach started right up with no issues. However, the house batteries are dead.
I had it last out on 22 Dec and had no issues at that time. Generator ran for 3-4 hours and ran it 40 miles on the roads. Weather was colder before Christmas (single digits) than we have had since, so I don't think the weather played a factor - but maybe it did.
- Chassis batteries were manually disconnected and house batteries disconnected via the electronic rocker switch (Hmmm....I think I did!). Yes, I did try turning on the house batteries to no avail.
- I cannot get the generator to start - does the generator start off the house batteries?
- all the lights were flashing on the leveler panel - I'm guessing this is a function of the dead house batteries?
- I put a volt meter on the batteries, with the engine running, voltage read ~ .8 volts - is this the alternator charging the batteries?
- Did not think to measure the batteries with the
- Checked all the water levels, everything appears good with water over the lead.
I did read through this thread

I've ordered the B&K Precision 316 so once I get the batteries recharged, I can see if I have some sort of draw.
How does one go about re-charging the house batteries? Via the generator? How can I get the generator to start?
Thanks for any thoughts.
