Just for the sake of telling this story.
Our MH is some what vintage, after having a set of new house batteries go bad and get replaced I started to wonder about the power quality of the charging system.
Went to the shop and found my little Tectronix portable scope and connected to the battery, found about 6 volt's of AC ripple on the line from the inverter, back to the "Junk Box" (aka "the shop") dug around till I found a 50 amp full wave bridge and fell across a couple of 1000 Mfd 50 VDC electrolitics, did a little creative re-wireing and now have a very clean 14.2 going to the batteries.
BTW, the inverter is an OEM "MagnaTeck 6345".
