Things I need to find out...

[Gardner Yeaw]

Larry,
Ok, I see now. I have a similar problem in that my Gen battery is
not really totally isolated and therefor discharges when not
disconnected from the system. My normal storage plan is to
disconnect all the batteries. I don't think I could survive an
overnight without the generator, but I haven't tried yet.
I know some folks have added seperate batteries for chassis power
to maintain starting energy when boondocking, not a bad idea, but
takes space and costs for the extra batteries and charging
requirememts.

Gardner
78FC33 7 batteries and loving it.

batts were weak and would not start, I then tried the Genny and that
batt was weak and would not start the Gen... I then hit the aux
switch and the Gen started... I think there was enough in the start
batts to get the gen started, lucky me, or I would have to call my
newly acquired towing insurance...

the aux switch tied the gen batt into the mix... I was thinking the
four 6 volts were the house batts and there was another batt for the
starter... I guess I will change out all the batteries...
