36 LA house Batt. solenoid replacement

Think I found the culprit of house batteries not charging during travel ?
solenoid in invertor area (driver side 1st compartment). upper left behind fuse panel, engine running 14.4 v coming in 12.55 & dropping on opposite side. Do believe this is the house battery charging solenoid not functioning properly?
any help from the more experienced would be helpful.

Thanx

Call the Tiffin service line at 256-356-0261 and explain your problem and what you've found. They're extremely helpful and will give you some good insights on how that particular system works and if what you're seeing is as it should be. I do most all my own maintenance and this service they give us is invaluable.

This depends on the year of your coach. If you have a Spyder system with a Power Management Module there is specific criteria when the solenoid engages to charge the house batteries. Below is the overview of the PMM.
