Here is an update to my issues, First I'd like to thank those that assisted me in this! I did reset the AGS to 12.2 .
Big shout out to Richard for all the dumb questions while he is on vacation!!
What I was trying to achieve was to keep my house batteries charged up while sitting in my storage lot, there was only a 110v outlet so I used that and a thirty five amp charger/maintainer directly on the house batteries. My fear was there wasn't enough shore power available to do this. I was wrong. I had purchased 6 new napa 8d for the house, thats what was there when I first purchased the coach although they were VERY tired to say the least!!!!
Richard kindly told me that I was going about the situation wrong LOL and I guess in the end I was. I didn't really need solar I just needed the setup to be fully charged so that the inverter would maintain both house and start batteries. It took about four days using the aforementioned charger/maintainer to get the batteries into "float" mode. Once this happened I set the inverter panel to shore power of 15 amps which is the breaker size.
(Prior to the batteries being fully charged the 15 amp breaker would trip and once batteries started to deplete the generator would kick on) so I cautiously plugged in the downsized shore cable to the 110 plug and so far the breaker hasn't tripped and the darn thing is doing what is was designed to do, take care of house and via the echo charger the starts.
I have been watching continuously to see that all is working and so far it looks great and I know longer have to be nervous about killing a new set of house batteries.
Thanks again all!!
