Actually, it's an Arctic Fox with an Onan generator, so I can only assume electrical is at or above standards. I mean, the batteries only have to hold a charge during the day. Might be a problem...

I've tested at the TV batteries with multi tester. Reads 12.85V which is more than it was but has topped out there. That's what made me wonder if they're getting charged from the camper charger.
