i'm with Rich if you tapped on the starter and it started then you need a starter, or at least it rebuilt. it will catch you somewhere and you will be in a bind that's for sure. Cummins are known for the solenoid going bad they sell kits for just the solenoid.

Hey mine has eight 12 v for the coach and two for the engine start that's ten, all coach battery's are in line i was woundering just how long they would last before they where at 50%, but his question seems he wants to know if he can run less battery, sure can you could run one 12v battery if you know yer not going to use it why have the weight and exspence of all the battery's.

Just a FYI on this Tiffin, I changed the engine batteries. They do not come out the bottom, you have to bring them out the top. Wasn't bad, took about a hour. All seems good. Now I'm doing some reading on programing the inverter. I'm in Fort Worth at midtown R.V. while having my left\ knee replaced, all went well now just have to get it all working again, if your ever in Fort Worth it's a small RV park close to everything. Again I sure appreciate you reply's and am going to have to say my hat's off to Billy Sims ttTrailer Town they really are standing behind this coach. also the first one ii bought there, lol I'm not a salesman. thx again HARVEY WHITE

Good Info. I have one of the shades in my coach that just stopped working. Won't go up or down. I am sure it's just a bad connection or maybe the switch. Like Michael said it will be a early morning project.

Thx for the reply's I did call Tiffin the tech there said I was thinking right dropped them out the bottom, fun fun.

Bought this Tiffin, four month's ago, checking it out real close for peace of mind noticed the coach batteries were swelling so I get a tester out unhooked all eight of them thinking man this is a lot of battery's had six out of the eight weak. so I replaced them, I called the dealer and told him what I had to do and he said he wanted to pay me what the battery's ran @ his cost. I'm thinking that was good of them to do that. Now I am going to go ahead and pull the engine start batteries out and replace them they hold the load but real close to the weak side just don't want any trouble there. All the chargers seem to be working good so I'm guessing that six years on a set in a coach like this is not bad. The service manager told me that a inverter like this coach had would put out whatever it had to to keep the charge so it would start heating up the batteries. Have any one here ever pulled the start batteries out of one of these Tiffin buses? I am looking it over-- seems they will have to drop out the bottom, any advice would be appreciated. Harvey

Rich, I'm thinking it may I'm sure going to check that out the next time I have the coach out of the barn. all the switch by the driver says is tag dump. So I will check it out.
