I have recently been gifted a 1989 Winnebago chieftain... its actually in pretty decent condition. I think its worth putting a little money into for use close to home. runs great and everything seems to work.. However, I don't know all the tricks to the switches. I have a few questions to get me pointed down the right road.
1- my home has a RV hook up outside for it but when it is plugged in only the refrigerator and microwave have power. is this normal ? or should the lights and stuff work as well?
2- The generator will start with the auxiliary batteries but if I turn the switch off the generator will shut down... is this normal? does the generator charge the auxiliary batteries while running? I worry about this because the lights and all will work with the aux. switch in the on position without the gen. as well. I do not want to kill the batteries because they are very expensive.
thank you for your help.... I am sure I will have more questions later but if I can get the lights to work and the batteries not to die I will be ready to roll with just a little work to the front end
