What am I missing here? How did/do either of you responders even know if Budd has an inverter? I would say there is something wrong with the CONverter/battery charger. jmho. lou

More than likely it is a problem with the Inverter/charger or converter/charger, which ever one your unit came equipped with. A inverter/charger in addition to charging the batteries will also invert 12 volts DC to 120 volts AC.

Dave, at least you are consistent. The quality of BOTH your answers was the same. Keep up the good work.

"--only shows charging on the gauges in the coach , when the RV engine is running--"
What gauges are you looking at?
The gauge on the Dash for the engine will not read charge unless the engine is running.
Did you put a volt meter on the house battery to check for charging?
