One of those forehead slapping moments.
If the non-working outlet is a standard outlet, there is a possibility that it is fed thru a GFCI elsewhere in the house, that is tripped. Could be an outlet in a store room or basement or some obscure place. If the outside receptacle is a GFCI and not working after a reset, it most likely has failed internally. You would need to pull it out and check for incoming voltage.

Yes, when I switched to the front outside outlet I noticed that it was tripped out.
I reset it and after making sure all was well I took my plug in meter and the back outlet was now energized. It appears to be wired with the front outlet hence the lack of power. When the weather warms up I will check out that back outlet.
We had cold rain here all day yesterday. Sunny skies today. I will check on the batteries soon. I expect (and hope) all will be well.

Keep in mind that the 13.3 volts is just a surface charge left from the charging process. You will want to recheck the voltage after leaving the batteries off the charging process for a couple of hours.mudshark said:
Hi Al & Sharon
The bus has been plugged in since Thursday. This morning's voltage reading in all 3 batteries is 13.43.
The voltage is coming up and I am sure it will take a few more days to really sock a charge in. I will keep the bus plugged in until I get at least 13.55 in the coach batteries.
With the converter we have I think we can leave it plugged for a long time.
I will not take a final reading without the batteries being off shore power and rested for at least a day.
