Back in September of 2004 there were many posts regarding getting accurate battery voltage information. Silverleaf got its information on battery voltage from the inverter, not directly from the batteries. Affinity #6400 was getting inaccurate voltage readings and said Silverleaf could modify their system to read the battery voltage directly from the battery and not the inverter.
Another poster reported that CC engineering said all was fine and the problem was limited to the special order coach #6400.
Since lots of Magna/Affinity coaches have been sold since September, does anyone know the final outcome of the Silverleaf "low voltage" situation?

We are coach 6400. The final resolution was that the ends of the battery cables (at all points) were crimped, not soldered, causing a large loss of voltage. Some of the cables were mis-sized and had to be replaced with larger ones. There was also a breaker that was too small and inhibited some of the voltage. All this has been repaired/replaced by Country Coach.
As for the Silverleaf problem, they made an update to their software which allows a user-programmable interval before the generator comes on. Before, it was 15 seconds, but now it can be programmed to have up to a 30-minute delay.

John,
You said in an old post that Silverleaf got its information on battery voltage from the inverter, not directly from the batteries.
Is is safe to assume since you identified the areas which caused voltage drops that your Silverleaf still gets its information on battery voltage from the inverter?

Yes, and it works fine.
