Update I had the house batteries load tested an one is good one is bad, however, this doesn't explain why it wont start with a fully charged starting battery that is barely two months old.

i tried it, same result, no power at all unless the 30amp is plugged in.

Im not sure what the transfer switch is, I will look for it. I have never started the generator, I have tried turning it over,, it did but it didn't start. 1994 Flair

I did have a battery that needed about 3 cups of water, I will have them load tested, although they are reading 12.5-8 v.

The fuses were not in either switch, the chassis worked but the house did not, I put fuses in the house switch and all of a sudden I had power without 30amp.

I have been living in my 30 foot Fleetwood Flair chevy 454 for eight months continuously on shore power. I have not used this rig for boondocking, but I want to. This morning I decided to tackle my biggest problem, when i turn off the 120 breaker the coach does not switch into DC mode, or onto house battery power. first I checked the converter, which is under 3 years old, 4 stage boondocker. It seemed to be working fine. next i checked the house batteries and they were 12.5-12.7v then i checked the intellitec 00100055000 relay solenoid battery cutoff, and to my surprise neither the switch for the chassis, or coach batteries had fuses in them, the switch was reading 1-2 v on the power side and zero on the exit side, so i took it apart put fuses in it and put it back together, and what do ya know, it worked, I turned off the 120v main breaker and all of the 12v appliances worked. Since I am taking a trip i decided to service the house batteries, i took them out and one needed water badly but it still read 12.5 volts, the other was full of water reading around 12.7v, i cleaned them and put them back in and none of the batteries worked, including the chassis battery, it would not turn over the engine, but it worked fine yesterday, and is reading 12.8v, the thing is I went ahead and put the two 5amp fuses that it was missing while I was at it. but it was working without the fuses? very strange Some questions i would like answered if possible; can these switches work with no fuses in them? is it possible that they both went bad at the same time? or did putting fuses in them open the gate and drain the batteries?
