Hello,

When i bought my 76 Birchaven 23 footer i had it inspected at a shop before i made my offer.they told me the genearator light stays on but it wouldent effect the coach.short history it sat for 8 years.with the owners driving it once a month to keep it up.I have had it a few months now this is what it does.

The coach has trojon house batterys 125 i think.they were dying but i found out after 3 shops tested my batterys and chargin system i had bone dry cells in each of the batterys.i filled them up with simply tap water and they seem to hold a charge.(was going to replace them)but they drop just enough to not be able to turn over the onan genererator if i need power.i couldent beleive one of the shops dident come across the dry cells Confused

But if i turn over the engine it charges them up for a few days then while sitting in storage they slighty discharge just enough to no kick over the generator.i have disconnected anything that the former owner had on the fuse block.cleaned up any wireing that wasent doing anything etc.

The 12 volt engine battery works fine and i can run the sterio for long periods without killing it.it does have a battery isolater so according to what i read up on.i may put in a new one and see if it dosent solve the issue.the house baterys are pretty old so it might be time to replace them.

Thanks
