    Just installed 2 new coach batteries. When I turn the power switch on, nothing comes on. If I connect shore power, everything works until i shut off the shore power. If I start the engine, everything works until I shut off the engine. All red wires leaving the battery compartment are hot. Any ideas?

    Viair Compressor to House Batteries

    Is it safe to connect a Viair 88P Portable Compressor to the lithium house batteries in order to inflate tires on a Isata 3? I heard someone was doing this instead of using the chassis battery and I was wondering if it's ok.

    I just bought a 2010 Cedar Creek 36 RE. I parked it two weeks ago and two weeks later when I went to raise the front legs up so I could connect the 5th wheel, the batteries seemed dead. All I got was clicking like a starter with an almost dead battery. The rear stabilizers lifted fine. I...
