New RV Owner
New to the RV Community. I purchased a 2012 Phaeton QKH this year and am trying to learn how to maintain it. Every day seems to be a new challenge.
Replaced the house 6V batteries. Now my 120V appliances do not function. The AGS (Magnum) indicates a steady red "fault" and Low Battery (12.2V) but with a steady green inverter light. I checked the inverter in the storage and the green inverter light is "flashing".
Is there a breaker or reset that must be pressed following battery replacement? Neither microwave nor residential refrigerator are functioning.
I appreciate any guidance

First off....
Was everything working before you changed out 2+ year old batteries or were you having issues? Did you make a drawing and take pictures before removing the old batteries?
Sounds like you may not have something reconnected properly and a call to Tiffin on Monday may be your best resolution. Good luck and keep us posted on your status.

Well, problem solved. The new batteries did not have sufficient charge for the inverter to power the 120V service. Compounding the issue was the generator breaker was tripped and not allowing it to charge the batteries nor operate the 120V appliances. A systematic check of the break 120 V breakers and plugging into 30A service led to resolving the issue.
Thanks to everyone providing input.
