I just recently purchased coach and believe batteries are not wired correctly. It seems my chassis batteries are charging on shore power and not the house batteries. Would anyone happen to have a picture of their battery bay in this model year?

What dc voltage do you read at the house battery terminals when plugged to shore power?

If less than 13.5 dcv then your observation is correct re the house battery.

If you see that voltage on the Chassis battery it could mean that you have the feature that allows the chassis battery to be charged from shore power through the house battery.

If you have an Echo Charger, make sure it is wired correctly!

I have 12.2  I talked to the tech for the freedom 25 inverter/charger and he said it was only able to charge one battery bank.
