    I have a 2016 Fleetwood Storm 32H that has a constant drain on the chasis battery.  After about 3 days it won't start and the battery only reads about 10 volts. It has been in the shop since the first of the year and still no answers.  Dose anyone else out there have a similar issue.

    we have a 2016 excursion and are having the same problem, not fixed yet but tech thinks we have a bad solenoid. It is irritating having to keep a battery charger hooked up, even when we are plugged into shore power. The charger aspect of the Inverter/Charger is not getting to chassis batteries, house batteries are fine. Also Trying to determine what is draining the chassis batteries. Hope to have fixed next week, will report back.

    /disconnect solinoid was not being disabled. It was stuck in the engaged state. Bought a replacement on  eBay issue resolved

    Thanks Allan for your reply.  We had taken the RV to Decatur for repair which they finally put in a battery disconnect switch on the chasis battery.  We had some other issues that were taken care of there but when we got home we decided to trade the RV in for a larger one.

    I have the same problem but I installed a remote battery disconnect switch which has an on/off remote that I keep on my keychain. I took it to Decatur and they sent it to the Ford dealer there in town and they couldnt fix it our didnt know what was causing it.
