power problem on 88 pt 40

[Leroy Eckert]

It does appear to be a 12v issue. Originally it appeared to be a dead leg 1.
The DC cutoff switch would prevent the batteries from charging and apparently
they are charging. I haven't checked to see if the A/T switch cuts all 12v
power but I have attempted to start the coach with it on and it will not start.
I'm going up tonight and I will see if that A/T switch does the same thing as
the 12v master. If for no other reason I'll know for future reference.

Differences in coaches is wide fer sure. I would be very surprised if you do
not have an electrical master somewhere.

I'm a newbie, but doesn't it sound like everybody can get completely off the
120V kick and concentrate entirely on 12V? Way back, someone mentioned the AT
switch, but I don't know if anyone has mentioned the main DC cutoff at the
batteries.
