Re: 1997 Van: electrical questions
Can the answers to these questions be different depending on your individual setup?
Since the answer to this question is YES, I am answering it first. The other answers are based on general SMB build - your results may vary.
1. When I'm plugged in to shore power:
a. Are the batteries being charged? If the breakers are all on
b. Are all electrical systems being run from the shore power rather than the batteries (lights, CO2 detector, water pump, heater fan, etc.)?Generally yes.
2. Are the answers the same if I'm running the generator instead of being plugged in to shore power?Running the generator should be the same as shore power.
You can verify most of this with a simple voltmeter. Measure the 12V power, plug in (or start the generator and see if the voltage jumps from 12.X to closer to 14.X.
