VerifiedHi,, your coach uses a converter/charger to charge the batteries, it appears its not functioning properly, do you have a voltmeter, and locate the converter. It will be either part of the distribution panel, or a 'stand alone' unit which is screwed into the floor behind it, take a look and let me know, please supply me with the model number of it, thanks
