88 power problem update

[Mike McMahan]

Robert, You can buy a portable charger and hook it to the batteries
to get them up so you can use the coach. There should be an electric
plug in the rear compartment by the batteries. Check the connections
coming out of the charger. Any corrosion, loose connecter, etc. can
cause the problem you are experienceiing. It happened on my coach a
year or so ago and I am tryong to remember what I did to fix but it
was very simple. I will go out to the coach in a few minutes and
look to see if I can see anything else. Mike McMahan
