Charge batteries

As i said in other thread, my generator is out. When dealer removed generator from my greyhawk 26y, i now dont get batteries recharged from running engine… only shore power.

Bummer is i am down at my hunt farm and mo plug in power… can do Zamp solar suitcase, but wonder if any way i can connect wiring they disconnected so my alternator charges house batteries

What does this thing look like under your hood? Wires disconnected??
Bottom one feeds my house battery. I don't know if it's direct or thru the relay in the battery compartment.

Read the section "House Battery Charging From Vehicle's Alternator" in the attached document. It will tell you how to check the relay under the hood which is what controls the charging you have lost.
