2000 CC Intrigue 40ft. 8.3 Cummins
I have the Motorhome parked at my house for the holidays while I do some upgrades to it. I only have a 1/10 outlet at my house to hook to the RV. I have an RV 3-way adapter for 1/10 and 30 amp. When just plugging in to 1/10 outlet my house batteries keep dying. I dont have anything on in the RV at all. I am getting power in to the RV and can see the light on my inverter when I connect it up.
One why are my house batteries going down and two why can I not charge them with the 1/10?

Thanks

What charge rate do you have selected on the inverter?

I didnt know I could set this option. Where do I look to see or check it?

The option will, should, be in the menu of your inverter control panel, Menu/Settings. You should be able to toggle through several max amp settings. Try 10 or 15 amps, that should be inline with the 15/20 amp 110v shore line you're using.

I have a freedom 20 system in my 2000 model Intrigue. I dont see anywhere where I can actually change the settings.
