2018 Seneca electrical issues.
Took the HJ on a spring shakedown run today and ran into a few issues with the house batteries/electrical system. Kids were watching some tv on the road and the house batteries went down to 12.4 volts. At that time the Garmin fusion stopped working, the tv still worked, other electrical outlets stopped, and the steps stopped working. Started the generator and got the batteries back up to full charge, shut down the satellite, tv, dvd, all outlets and by the time we got home 2 hours later the batteries were back down to 12.4 volts and the steps would not deploy again. Are the batteries bad? Phantom draw? Any input would be appreciated. Removed the batteries for the winter and charged them fully. Checked charge and topped off before I reinstalled this spring. I keep it plugged into a 50 amp service at home with the disconnect engaged most of the time.
