i would call the guys at Tiffin they will know. I believe that if you are plugged in and you turn off the coach switches that the batteries do not charge. It's easy enough to check, use a volt meter directly on the battery posts and it should show a charging voltage if it is. Turn the switch on, Question: Did the voltage change?

Can you hear the converter working under the cabinets? The battery charger is connected to the converter.
