Yes Ken,


On the 2007 Tour Master coaches, there is a stack of 4 each 6-volt golf cart batteries connected in a series/parallel configuration of 12 volts to provide a high capacity power source for the DC to AC inverter. These batteries are mounted across the front of the coach just below the windshield, accessed by the same body panel that gives access to the diesel generator. In fact, these batteries are also what provides cranking power to this diesel generator...


Another pair of 12 volt deep cycle batteries are found in a basement bay on the curb side just behind the rear wheels, these are the 'house' batteries to power the 2 volt lighting, etc. This pair of batteries is charged by the AC to 12 volt Converter.


A third pair of 12 volt starting batteries are also located in this bay -- these provide cranking power to the main diesel motor (mine was a large turbo Mercedes, but other coaches alternatively had the available Cummins turbo engine...) These diesel starting batteries are typically called the "chassis" batteries.


Hope this helps clear things up. It is possible that for smaller coaches, a DC to AC inverter could be powered by the house battery stack, if it were sufficiently sized in AMP-HR capacity.
