Seldom is a house battery a battery! Rather it is a battery bank(more than one). The ones that are tied together.

Ok, I know where those are. There’s some tied together and I think next to that is the other battery/batteries

You likely have a Xantrex Freedom 458 converter/ 2000W modified sine wave inverter located in 2nd last bay next to house batteries on driver side. There's two breakers on the front panel. One or both will trip when circuits overloaded. Check those breakers. Your BCC (main 12v fuse box) is in the same bay.

Xantrex Freedom 458 was standard equipment on Fleetwood DPs up to 2009. The updated Freedom 458 is still in production and is plug n play into your coach if you need a replacement.

Awesome! Thank you. I’m hoping to dig into all this over the weekend. Is it possible to jumpstart the Onan 7500 that’s under the hood? I was reading that the generator charges the house Batteries. I’m hoping to save the batteries as they were new in 2024.

Should be a switch on the dash labeled boost or something like that.

Ok. Thanks

I believe "Boost" starts the engine. If the engine starts and runs it will charge the battery enough to start the genny.

Well, that’s what I thought. How long is it okay to idle the coach? (C7 Cat)

That I can't help you with. I have a gas pot.

 

[Grizzlee]

Ok, thanks

Generator starts off the chassis batteries. If engine starts, generator should also start. You can let your Cat C7 run all day if exhaust is properly ventilated.
