Stuck Dry Camping for first time.
First problem but not critical is that I am unable to start my generator without first starting the engine on my 2008 Intrigue. Then I can shut off the engine.
Second problem, with both engines running, the Silver Leaf display shows AC 4.3 amps OUT, 122V (steady); inverter - inverting; charger - standby; DC 40 amps, 13.6V IN
I am unable to get any of the three Air Conditioners to run. Shouldn't they?
If I shut off the engine and leave the generator running, then DC shows 43 amps, 11.8V; then after a few (3) minutes, the Silver Leaf display shows that all systems shut down and displays no AC Current available and display shows inverter - no load, charger - standby; AC 1.6 amps IN, 0V; DC 0 amps, 11.6V IN
Next, Turn off the Air Conditioner and the system does reset to Inverter power but only after restarting the engine again.
What should I have checked???

not sure of your system. I would try getting the generator running and make sure the generator breaker is closed (producing power into the coach) At 11.8 volts you are getting into battery trouble. Trying hitting the reset on the inverter /charger as some units have setting that under 11.8 they shutdown. Your batteries are very low on charge. They are about 80% discharged. You need to get your batteries charged before doing more battery damage.

I agree with Buddy, starting the generator without your engine running seems to be a battery problem with the low voltage. To get the AirCo running, my recommendation is to turn the thermostat to off, start the generator, wait for it to close the breaker (soft bang in the storage bay), this can be seen by your LoadMeter lighting up and hopefully showing your batteries charging. Then turn on a single AirCo at a time. You will see the Load meter increase on the panel when the AirCo starts.

Thanks, Did not realize that there was a breaker on the generator. That was the problem. Thanks....
