Dead Batteries

[Gregory OConnor]

Steve, I think the 40AmpB is not on the coach, it's on the supply to
the coach. Sounds like one of the two legs of power never got to the
shore receptical. If you notice a 220, 240 breaker has two flip
switches tied together , sounds like one of the two switches went
bad and the other never switched off. that may be why he had only one
green polarity light. ????

If I have to let my bus stand for several days away from 50 amps, I
plug one of two chargers directly into an extension cord then off to
a docking receptical. I often thought of running a jump from that
mini shore location (charger bay) to the refrigerator (IceBox) for
the low amp docking of refrig and one charger. During the hookup
there would be less danger that use of Electric in the bus will
overload and trip the mini shore breaker.
