2002 Windsor solar charging and battery question

I have a 2002 Windsor with 325 watt solar charging installed. In the past I have been able to boon dock taking advantage of this and only having to run generator enough to top off batteries at night.


The coach is currently parked in a large opening which get decent sunlight, especially in the morning and late in the evening.



I was away on a 3 week trip for work and when I came back I did a quick check of the coach. The salesman switch had been off but the batteries only showed 50% charge. The voltage charge shows 13.4 volts.


The next day I checked the next day and the batteries showed 100% state of charge.



Any idea what's going on???

Jim, I wonder if the salesman's switch may be cutting power to the charging control?

I don't think so since I can still scroll through the display.



Checked it again today and it was showing 100%.
