Confusing electrical mess in 2009 Chalet
Quick question, followed by a longer story.
Can i just add an extra house battery in parallel with the existing house batteries to increase capacity?
I bought an 09 Chalet from a private party. It came with solar panels installed on the roof. The solar panels are tied to two add-on batteries, but the change controller is dead. The add on batteries and original house batteries all read good voltage levels on the multimeter. Generator does not work. I can power the house when i turn on the chassis. I can power the house with the chassis off in bright daylight (some lights flickering because it's running on solar). I cannot power the house on just batteries. I feel like they rewired someone weird and created an additional power system. So I've got the original schematics from Winnebago and want to put things back to original. Then I want to tie in the two extra batteries for increased overall capacity, and tie in the solar to passively charge the batteries and help provide house power. Does my corrective action sound like a feasible plan, or am I going about it wrong?
