Thank you so much for all your help and patience with a newbie.

I have read the manual completely and have set up the remote monitor with the options available. Husband will check the chassis batteries with the volt meter. One final question, when the battery switch is turned off when MH not in use, should the inverter/charger be left on or switched off as well.

We have 4 6V house batteries, GC-225. I assume the chassis batteries charge when plugged in, We have a 2010 Dutch Star DP. The ME series remote panel has the following menu options: SHORE menu AGS menu METER menu SETUP menu- search watts Low batt cut out Batt amp hours Batt type Charge rate VAC dropout Power saver Screen setup TECH menu- temperatures Revisions Inv model Load defaults Ext control Should these all be set to default settings or should some be customized?

I see the photo did not go through. it is a Magnum ME Series with a remote control panel inside the coach.

We have the following inverter/charger(photo attached). Because I am the reader, the manual is all Greek to me. My husband is the doer. We have only had our MH a short time and it is our first. No one went over the basics of how to use it.

We do not have 12 Vac shore power when the MH is in outdoor storage. This is the first time we have heard that we should drive some miles rather than just run the engine. I know we work the generator by running the air. Another electrical question: We have the MH in our driveway now as we prepare to head south soon. When you plug into a household outlet, should the battery switch be on or is it OK to leave it off? Is the converter or inverter charging the batteries when you plug in? How many volts does it take to run the converter or inverter?

Even when our battery switch is turned off, something is drawing power from the batteries. Our 6 batteries (house and chassis) were all replaced last year. When our MH is in storage during the summer months, we go once a month to run the engine and the generator. On one of those times this past summer, all the batteries were dead. Had to get a boost. So something is still drawing power. The electric steps still work when you open the door even with the switch off but they are not in use all the time. Any suggestions?
