My experience in RV's until now has been in a alide on camper which only had one battery. I now have a Class A with two batteries for the engine etc and 3 for the coach. I took them out last fall and now don't know how to hook them back up. Aside from the connecting of the batteries do the small wires that must power accessaries hook up to the positive side.

Sounds like you should call your nearest RV service provider for a qualified technician. Get a detailed service agreement and invoice to ensure some sort of a warranty. My practice, when I had to disconnect my batteries, chassis and two six-volt house system, was to draw a picture....

Be careful, very, very careful. You have to know if its 12 volt batteries or 6. You don't want anything crossed up, a fire or electronics damage could result.

A little late for this - but I take lots of pictures with my digital camera BEFORE I start pulling on things. It's nice to have the pictures in the laptop alongside when I'm putting things back.

I agree with the other poster - If you're asking this question - GET HELP FIRST!

Do an ADVANCED SEARCH in class A on Battery Connections, you will find your answers. Good Luck
