If you are referring to the picture in post #6, I disagree. 

With AC power IN, and battery voltage reading of only 12.5 VDC and charge rate of only 10 amps, SOMETHING is wrong.

The charge amps should be near max for the charger section as it should be in bulk mode and trying to drive voltage up to bulk rate voltage of about 14 VDC. Even if in float mode, voltage is close to .7 VDC low.

I read the amp gauge differently, I see at least 10 amps but not 25 amps, there is 14 amp spread.

I agree with Brett on this one, TGordon, all the inverter display is showing is the instant battery voltage.  So I ask this: is there a separate house batter charger?  Or is the battery charger built into the inverter.

If it's OEM, there is a separate charger on the opposite side of the coach next to the wet compartment. They do fail. Ours did not have a stable float voltage. I read the Amazon reviews and went with the Progressive Dynamics charger/converter. +++

Was this stock on the 89?  I dont think that I have any 115 V with out the gen or plugged in, on my 87-88 GV.
    I have not found any inverter, OE installed. 

FT installed equipment does indicate "75 Amp Converter-Charger" and separately, "1500 Watt Inverter" so perhaps the Xantrex combination Inverter/Charger was retrofitted.

(1) Xantrex manual says that this reading means the inverter is "inverting"

(2) though I am unable to explain why the display is showing "Incoming AC Breaker Amps" at 50 with no Gen or shore power, as well as not a single amp of AC available to lights, microwave panel, etc.
