Dead Batteries

[olinerider]

Had the same thing happen once in a remote location,
after all was said and done I found out that a relay
that need to trip for the generator to charge house
and engine batteries must have en excess of 10 volts.
I learned later that all I would have had to do was
jump the engine batteries off my tow vehicle or
another vehicle to get a jump on the batteries long
enough to trip the relay so the engine batteries could
be charged. My coach was also a 40 ft. with the
8V92.......
