Dead House Battery Procedures

If you've stopped for the night and woke up unable to close the slides and the fridge is warm, then the
house batteries have fallen below the acceptable voltage. The most likely cause is that the Auto
Generator Start (AGS) was not enabled properly the night before. Not to worry though, all hope is not
lost. It may take a couple of hours for the voltage to climb enough to get back to square one. So, follow
the steps below carefully, then find a good book and relax for a little while.
If you've woken up to dead batteries yet you have not put the slides out and the levelling jacks are still
in the up position, you can simply start the engine and drive away. The batteries will charge as you drive.
1. If there is anything in the coach using power, including lights, turn it all off and leave it off until
you're able to start the generator.
2. Start the engine, don't forget to wait until the yellow coil light goes off.
3. There is an emergency start switch located on the dash of the truck. This switch pulls both the
truck battery and the house batteries together to help either one with needed extra power.
4. Look at the battery levels on the home screen of the touch screen panel, it should display the
current voltage and is likely less than 12 volts.
