Are you sure the charger is turned on at the Link 2000 (green light showing at the on button) I know mine will stick every now and then.

Check the cables from the inverter/charger to the house batteries, make sure they are clean and tight, as well as the rest of the cables.

Could be your charger has gone bad you should have charge voltage at the cables, or possibly the inverter/charger switch
may have gotten turned off at the inverter. If my memory serves me right their is a  push button breaker also on the front of the inverter charger, if it's popped out push it to reset it.

Is the charger getting 110V power (tripped breaker) at the panel in the coach?

You can also start the coach it should will charge your house batteries.

If you need 8D's, try O'Reilly's Auto Parts - you can usually talk them into swapping the batteries out for you, thus avoiding back strain!  ^.^d

Replace all of the batteries as a matched set.
