How many batteries are there in the FC? I can't get the access door
under the passenger seat open. I'll remove the hinges this weekend.
Are there batteries inside? There are four(?) new batteries under the
drivers seat and the one for the genset. There should be two more
correct?

Wrong, what you mentioned is what you get LOL
The four batteries under the drivers seat is for starting and house, and a
seperate one for the genset.
There is a tie between the two with a switch on the dash called "Aux Batt" or
something like that.

Also look under the Wanderlodge forum files and you will find 1984 drawings, I
do not know if they print out very well though.

Keith,
Opening that bay door...Is it the key that won't unlock it? Or it could
be the cable pulls that work with the latch. Might try reaching in
behind the door with stiff wire with a hook on the end and pulling on
the cable. No sure if there is room to do that.

Someone more familiar with the batteries will chime in.

Keith:

Now is when knowing the year of the Coach comes in handy. In '85, they
placed a separate battery try on the curb side under the co pilots seat,
making the total of 6 batteries, plus one in the gen set. Or at least that
is how my '85 was set up and it was or looked Factory. The Redi line was
moved from the curb front compartment to the street compartment where the
chargers are, in '85. In '84, the rediline was still in the front
compartment leaving little or no room for the bat tray.

Safe travels,

Interesting? The registration says Bluebird 1985/Year Model 1984?
Could be either one I guess? I'll know for sure when I get that dang
door open! This is the part where working is getting in the way of
my fun time!!!
