We purchased a 97 Fleetwood Flair last year, this is out first coach.Coach batteries approx. 6 years old. Had them checked one was bad the other was weak.Replaced them with new deep cycle 6's they are hooked in series. I have power to all my coach lights when I am plugged in to shore power or when the genset is running. No power to anything when genset and shore power is unplugged. No power to coach when the engine is running either. What if anything should I be looking for.

Turn your batter disconnect switch back on.

I did turn the Coach Battery disconnect on, that is what has me puzzled. Should have said that in my original post, sorry

I'd say your batt. are not hooked into the system The lights are work off the converter when on shore or generator power. Do you have a 12 volt poss. wire setting some place by the batt.s not doing anything???

Will look again to see if there is a wire not connected. Have checked all fuses everything looks okay. Thanks
