I have a 2008 Itasca Cambria 26A. My house batteries are 2 - NAPA #8240 (BCI #24DC). Batteries were fully charged when left RV park according to the lights on level panel. I stopped to check out some sights. Turned on the over head fan and opened a window to more air for cats in RV. We were gone about 2-1/2 hours. Came back and fan was still running. Turned off fan and pushed button to start generator. Everything went dead. Generator would not start, level lights were very dim, no lights would come on, refrig went off propane. I don't know what happened. Did I drain the house batteries down that low? Drove back home. Batteries did not seem to charge. Check water level in batteries, OKAY. Took reading with multimeter across battery terminals with master battery switch OFF, reading was 12.4 volts. Plugged in shore power and left to charge for 3 days. Turn off shore power still the same, not a thing is working. The batteries are only 18 months old. Do you think that they are bad? I am going to get a Hydrometer to check the SG of each cell to see if I have a dead cell or two. What do I need to do?
My Power Center is Parallax Power Supply, Model 7345. I checked the breaker panel and no breakers were triped.
I need help. Thanks, RON
