Hi everyone, first post here. I believe I have an inverter problem, but wanted to ask those with more experience than I. My motorhome has been hooked for to a 50 amp at all times, but I've been gone for 2 weeks for the holidays. When I returned tonight, the lights were dim and battery levels very low. I checked connect with with power. Then disconnected power and turned on the engine. It wouldn't crank at first, but it finally turned on (brand new starter batteries changed out just 1 month ago).
By turning on the engine, the battery level went from low to 39% within 20 minutes. I then turned off the engine and the battery level went down rather quickly. I then turned on the generator, but it didn't raise the batteries levels and the % kept draining.
So the 50 amp shoreline and generator won't charge the house batteries, only when the engine is on. My first thought is the inverter, what do you think? Thanks!
