If you have incandescent bulbs, turn one on. Then start the vehicle. If it gets brighter--then the tow vehicle is sending energy to the RV.

How can I check to see if my electrical system in my 5th wheel is charging the batteries?
My unit is a 2016 and after being in storage all winter and plugged into shore power, when it is not plugged in and I go to use the electrical leveling jacks, I get a low voltage error.
If the batteries are bad, I will replace them, I just don't want to do that if they are good. I keep the water level topped off. But I suspect the batteries are just worn out.

With converter turned on you should have 13.4V-13.6V minimum voltage.

While in storage, the disconnect switch is set to "off". Once a month, I recharge by running Honda generators for about six hours. That's not scientific (I don't know how much time is required for a full recharge), but it seems to work. It has the added benefit of exercising the generators.
