The voltage on the panel indicates 12.4 volts most of the time when this happens. So today after unhitching, but before unplugging from my truck I put a volt meter on my batteries and it registered 13.4v. After disconnecting from my truck, it read 13.2v, howver the panel said 12.5v. I can always level with manual mode, but I want the auto level to work like it should.
A few weeks ago I found a loose connection or two and tightened those up. I figure it's either got to be a wire connection issue, controller or panel problem. I just purchased these Interstate 6v in May and I checked the water level and all is good.
Hopefully someone has had this issue and can help me or let me know if I'm on the right path.
Thanks!

What kind of battery's do you have. If the dealer installed them they are most likely a battery for starting an outboard motor or a trolling motor. If they are rated CCA they are not what you need for RV you need a battery rated in amp hours. Also if they are lead acid of any kind they are only good for 50% discharge before degrade the battery.
Plus the way The larger RVs are wired you're lucky if you'll get 2 amps to charge the battery.
