Finally got to take the DS out on a short trip. Friday night drove out about 45 miles. Setup smooth and easy. Everything we used worked. The next morning we started getting low voltage faults. Let the coach down, started the engine and faults went away. (We had finished cooking) Drove about forty miles and setup again. Started getting faults again. I drove the forty miles with the gen on. Inverter/charger issue? The batteries are five years old, maybe timed out batteries. Where is the charger/inverter so l can check for breakers?
 
If your batteries are quite discharged, 40 minutes won't do much for recharging them. You say low voltage faults - define "low". If your batteries are 5 years old and have not been well cared for, they could very well be old and tired and lost capacity. Inverter is in one of the pass thru bays mounted on the basement roof between the frame rails. But if you are able to have power via inverter, you don't have tripped inverter breakers. Have you checked your generator breakers?
 
OSUAllen, thanks for the heads up on the inverter location on the coach. Crawled in there this AM and the breaker had popped. Reset the breaker and everything is working. I can see it is going to be a journey learning the electrical system in this coach.
