Hi all--
I have 2006 Thor Presidio diesel pusher.We have had it for about two years and absolutely love it. We have a few 'bumps in the road' and here is a new one-
My chassis batteries do not seem to be charging when the engine is running. We went on a long trip a few weeks ago and the low voltage alarm in the dash sounded. I pushed the battery boost button and it went off. I let go of the button after a few minutes and it soundec again. I replaced the batteries at the campsite we were at. On the way home the same thing happened again after a few hours of driving. When we got home we plugged the bus in. I checked the voltage after a few days and got the following:
Plugged in-13.4 volts
Unplugged-13.35
Engine running gen off-12.5 and dropping
Engine off gen on--12.75 and rising
Engine off,genoff,unplugged-13.1(equal to house batteries)
Engine off,gen off, plugged in-13.4 volts
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
