My house batteries do not get charged from the V10 engine's alternator.
My wife does all the driving - I just get to hold the steering wheel.įace Book Group: All About RVing and We Fly RC's Good LuckĪnother Fleetwood owner and my engine charges both engine and coach batteries. Maybe you have a loose connection or a circuit breaker is tripped some place. I bought a Trik-L-Start so my chassis batteries will charge when the MH is plugged into shore power. My Winnie batteries will charge with the engine running or the generator, however, when the MH is plugged in to shore power only the house batteries will charge. I'm not sure about your particular motor homes but all the motor homes I know of charge both house and chassis batteries when the engine is running.

This drops the voltage about 1/2 volt-and thus you do not get a full charge. When the voltage drops below 12.7 (engine off) it disconnects the house batteries.Ī second (and inferior way) is to use a diode. This allows the starting battery to charge, and then when the voltage is up to 13.7 volts connects the house batteries. There are several ways you can change the charging-one is to put in a relay, or VSR such as sold by Blue Seas.

You show two RV's in your signature-which one is it? The Holiday Rambler may not charge off the engine-my 2007 did not until I did an upgrade on the relays on the main selenoid. Mine has a solenoid that ties the two systems together when the engine is running.

I seem to only get a house battery charge when the generator is running? Topic: Should my engine charge my house batteries while driving? Having two coach batteries is highly recommended.RV.Net Open Roads Forum: Should my engine charge my house batteries while driving? Open Roads Forum In your case I suspect you could add a second coach/house battery in the empty compartment - easy to connect to the coach battery. I added a device called a Trik L Start which allows the chassis battery to charge when hooked to shore power. When connected to shore power the converter charges the house battery but the isolator normally keeps it from charging the chassis battery. When the engine is running the two batteries are connected and the alternator is charging both batteries - when the engine is off the chassis and coach batteries are isolated. The chassis battery connects to the house/coach battery through a battery isolator. I have a chassis battery up front on the passenger side - I also have a 12 volt type 24 marine/rv house battery on the driver's side and I placed a second one in a storage compartment in the rear (parallel connection).

But I'm just trying to understand how this AUX battery setup works. OK, now, with the engine running, is my alternator charging this AUX battery too ? And if I'm running my generator while driving is that isolated from the engine bay ? Again, all my wiring is factory, so I'll assume everything is isolated. it is drawing off the AUX battery and that is a starting type of battery. I'll just assume this is a very basic and limited setup not meant for hours of use. With engine off, the battery supplies 12v to my house lights and (2) 12v outlets. It seems this is an auxiliary starting battery and it is also my house battery. I'm learning the battery on the left side has a dual purpose. I've been searching, but need some help with this puzzle. My 1992 Ford E350 chassis engine compartment has:ī) a place for a small battery on the left side (nothing there now).Ĭ) all my wiring is factory and not hacked up.
