Power Problems

Yahoo Message Number: 92976
I couldn't get the groups things to let me respond or reply to my original so I copied it at the end of this one.
As suggested, I cycled the 12volt disconnect. I also cleared a gen start comm fail on the VMS when it came back up. The gen start comm fail came back even though you can start the generator from the VMS, Silverleaf in back or the manual button. The system still gets an intermittent alarm of 0 VDC on the silverleaf even though I can watch the Solar panel and the house batteries read 13.6 VDC

Any ideas?

here is the original post

We arrived for the night at a dry camping spot. Went out for dinner and came back to the coach with generator running. Batteries were fully charged so I manually shut off the generator. The xantrex tripped so I reset.
We climbed into bed and the generator started. It was past quiet time setting. I got up and shut it off after checking everything was good. Got back in bed and the generator started.
After a couple of hours of this I watched the silver leaf and my batteries would go from 13.5 VDC to 0 and the generator would start. I set the silver leaf gen start to not start rechecked the quiet and turned the generator auto start off. The generator still kept starting. Now I had a red alarm light on the silver leaf panel in back so I went to the front silver leaf and it said gen comm fail.
I should have just manually started the generator and let it run all night and got some sleep but I didn't. I got home and still have the problem and the voltage still flashes 0 even though batts are fully charged.

Any ideas?

I just finished a coach with the same issue. It was the silverleaf module that looks at the inverter, batteries, generator, etc was intermittent.
