Shore power battery charge

My 2003 Itasca Cat 330 diesel will not maintain house battery charge. Charges fine with coach engine running.

More info would be helpful in advising you.

1. Did this just start happening?
2. Is the coach new to you so you don't know if it's new or not?

When requesting help it REALLY makes a difference if you provide Lots of info rather than one short sentence or two.

What does" not maintaining a charge" mean:

1. Does the house battery run down while sitting idle for a few days or weeks?

2. Does the shore power system not charge the house battery?

3. Does the generator not charge the house battery but shore power does?

4. Do #2 and 3 work but the batteries run down too fast while in use when not connected to shore power or a generator?

Your original question could mean any of these. Give us some specifics please.

See if you can check and tell us if your unit has a separate AC to DC Converter/Charger and DC to AC Inverter, or if it has a combined Magnum Inverter/Converter. Different things to check depending on which kind you have.

Either way check for a tripped circuit breaker in your AC breaker box and try to reset if tripped.
