My battery merge solenoid feels warm to the touch. Does that mean that it is working? It would seem that if it is warm there is electricity flowing thru it. In the 6 years that I have owned the coach, I have never changed it.

I keep it in the up (on) position while plugged into shorepower. Actually, I keep it on all of the time; except when I am dry camping then I turn it off (middle) position. I do this in order to keep from running down the engine batteries. If I understand the way it is supposed to work: when dry camping and the batt merge OFF you are running appliances off of the house batteries (6) and not drawing any juice from the engine batteries (2). This is done so you can start the engine and use the alternator to charge up the house batteries enough to start the generator. Am I understanding this correctly?
