Found the problem. The engine batteries are dead due to the echo charger not charging them while sitting. The 20A fuse is blown from the echo to the batteries. I will replace it and hopefully get the starting batteries back up to full and things should correct themselves.

The exact same thing happened to us. The fellow who works on our RV in Owatonna, MN, found the problem, so now we know too. Good to read of your experience.

Mike, did you have to put a battery charger on yours to bring them back up to full charge, did the echo charger do it for you, or did you drive the coach afterward and they came back up? Thanks,

R.D.,After the fuse was replaced, the fellow in Owatonna charged the batteries up with a battery charger. Then I drove it, and it has been fine since. I didn't know a out the fuse, but I'm sure glad Jeff at RV Services of Owatonna did!Hope this helps. Mike06 Inspire 51784

Mike, thanks for your help. We're hitting the road tomorrow, so hopefully the alternator will bring the batteries up. The echo charger is now working, at least the green light indicating that it is charging is now on. .I don't think the batteries are taking the charge though, or maybe it is so weak a charge, like Bob said, that they won't be able to come up via the echo. I just hope that the alternator will provide enough power to keep us running tomorrow.
