Greetings to all from Indio,

I arrived in Indio from Tucson on Monday. On Tuesday I went to put my tire covers on and realized I needed to raise the coach a few inches to reach over the top of the drive tires. So while the coach was still plugged into 50 AMP I started the coach, pull all the slideouts in and raised the coach. I then put the slideouts back out. I then leveled it at the new height shut the coach off and went about my business. About 10 hours later my RS 3000 inverter started beeping a warning message of low battery and the inverter showed that it was not charging. I went about the normal things to check, such whether the 50 amp was still plugged in, the breaks at the shore power post, I even switched over to 30 amp in case there was something wrong with the 50 amp line. Nothing worked. I even started the generator and it the battery's would not charge. Finally, I decided to check my breaker panel in the coach and the inverter breaker was tripped. Once I tripped it back everything came back and the battery was fully charged by morning. I've never had that happen and I was wondering if starting the coach and immediately bringing the slideouts in and leveling it with the coach still plugged in could have caused the problem. Any ideas?
