I'm a little new to this but I have a 2009 Monaco Cayman 35sbd. its been parked for about 2 and a half months without starting. The battery disconnects were all turned off before storing and I started the coach back up last weekend with no issue but I have no house lights and my carbon monoxide sensor is beeping low voltage. My inverter says that it's inverting but there isn't any power at my control panel either.....I let it run for about 30min to no avail. Any recommendations?! Thanks!

Your house batteries may be low, if you can run the generator it will recharge them.

What are your house batteries reading on the control panel? The he alternator charges the chassis batteries before allowing the house batteries to charge. Also the alternator does not have enough output to charge a flat set of house batteries. By the way shut off the inverter to conserve 12 volt.

Welcome to the forum. Check as you enter the RV. There is probably a switch on the left that needs to be toggled on. It is commonly known as the "salesman" switch.

New to Forum. Just picked up a 2006 Monaco Cayman and the batteries to start the engine were 5-6 volts. And I'm plugged into shore power. the Coach batteries are fine, shouldn't that also charge the chassie batteries. Havent started the unit for 5 days. Should I just carry a trickle charger along and keep it plugged in? Thanks

On lower end Monacos (mine included) there is no provision to charge the chassis batteries except the altenator.

You can "jump start" from the house batteries using he Battery Boost switch. It bridges the house and chassis batteries together thru a selanoid.

When storing I switch the chassis batteries off using the disconnect in the battery compartment.

Good Luck
