Only had the coach about a month and figuring out small issues. I noticed if it's been sitting a week or so without plugging in to charge the batteries that the rocker switch for the Main batteries wont turn on. It will turn off fine. The Aux switch works fine both ways. If I put the ignition key in and and just turn once, the main battery light will go on. The main switch won't work most of the time even after driving around and having the genset on for a few hours at the end of the day. I thought something was wrong with the switch until I plugged the RV in over night to make sure all the batteries were well charged for a drive the next day. The next morning when I didn't have it plugged into the house, I noticed the Main battery switch was working fine after it had been charging all night. The Aux batteries do seem to drain quickly but I'm still able to start up the Gen set if it's been a few days. The GenSet didn't' want to start once after it have been sitting a bit but the main batteries started up the engine and I was able to start up the Genset withing 30 seconds of starting up the Genset. I realize that something is draining the Aux batteries quicker than it should but the Main batteries have stayed charged. It just seems odd the that Main switch worked fine after an overnight charge even though both the house and main batteries seem to have an adequate charge the day before when it wasn't working. It's almost like just 1 of the batteries that is used on the Main battery switch is staying completely dead and wasn't getting charged while the engine or Genset were running during the day. It only got charged when it was plugged into my house power. Any ideas or something else like a small battery in the battery control box?
