All,
I have a 2005 Monterey with the Xantrex whole coach system. I also have a BIRD module and a Big Boy switch. I think I have been mistaken over the years thinking the BIRD and Big Boy would keep my chassis batteries charged from the house batteries. Then as the house batteries lost voltage, the auto gen start would activate and house batteries would charge again. I am thinking this is not the case, but don't know for sure. The coach is in storage now without shore power. My chassis batteries have a pretty heavy drain of about 2 Amps per hour. It does not take long for the chassis batteries to discharge at that rate. The biggest drain comes from the dash radio of all things, even if it is off. Does anyone have any ideas on how to correct problem. Can I move the Xantrex sensing module from the house batteries to the chassis batteries and use auto gen start when they drop?
Thanks
Dennis
