I am new to forum, just bought a 1978 Royale which is in immaculate original condition. My batteries are dead. I have read operating manuals but can't understand operation of electrical system. When I ran generator I could not get lights inside to work. When I plugged into house power all worked. When I ran engine nothing worked. I found fuse panels but am lost. Is there anyone who would be willing to talk me thru this dilemma?



I believe Royales are a little different from GM finished coaches, electrically, using a special main breaker or something unique like that. There is a possibility that a PO has changed the electrical system too.


I'm sure someone with a Coachman finished coach will jump in to help soon enough, but in the meantime, please include your location and real name. GMCers are surprisingly helpful and there may be someone nearby who would be willing to spend some face time with you on this to point you in the right direction.
