Recently purchased an 1985 Pace Arrow 34'(44k mileage). It needs some work but is overall worth it.
I have a couple questions pertaining to electrical.
While on shore power everything (electrical) seems to work fine. When I disconnect the shore power all the house lights go out. I replaced all three batteries (one engine, two house) but still no lights from the batteries. When I turn on the key to the start (no engine running) the lights will come on. When I start the engine the lights will stay on. But when I shut down the engine (key off) the lights go out again.
I thought that I had the wires on the batteries incorrect but there is no change when I switch the wires around. I disconnected the 'engine battery' (engine off) and the lights went out. So I don't know why the 'house batteries' are not powering up the house.
It has a AC/DC inverter/breaker box in the back bed room (which will be my next exploration), and I can not find the switch/relay (that everyone is talking about) that controls the power from the different sources.
Can someone help me find the switch that is energizing the house lights while the engine is on :question:
