I have a 05 Sun Voyager. Recently I had the house batterys replaced with AGM"s. Now I have no charging when using shore power or using generator but they do recieve current when engine is running. Is there a fuse or circuit breaker in line? and where the heck is it?

TIA

Lee, It sounds like they wired them wrong as they are now conected to the starting batt. and not to the conveter/charger, I don't think there is any other way this can happen.

Lee, check to see if they may have left a wire off and it is just hanging around in the battery area. Be sure the battery diconnect swithc is turned on. THey may have shorted out the charge line and it has blown the fuses on the charger. If this has happened you can usually just replace fuses and be back in business. Let us know what you find.

Thanks Folks,
While looking for the things suggested I found a circuit breaker on the front of the bulkhead underhood that was open. When I reset it all things worked as they should.
Being a new motor home owner I find it a bit overwhelming sometimes. But being an oldtimer Motor Head I'll come around.
Thanks Again,
Lee
