  • Shutting the Bus Down for a few days ?

    Posted by steve on December 28, 2014 at 4:26 pm

    Planning a complete shut down for a few days while moving to the house. I will be off shore power, no loads & plan to open the main house battery switch. Any problems associated with this ? I plan to check house batteries voltage every other day. I figure with no load on batteries they should maintain voltage.

    If you put the entire coach to sleep and there are no loads independent of the master switches you should be able to go for months without having the need to charge batteries if the batteries are in good shape. A few days will certainly be no problem.

    However, with various electric devices we have just make sure when you power down the coach you do this in accordance with your converter’s recommended procedures. My coach has specific sequential steps I must follow for a couple of devices before I turn off all master switches.
