Battery Isolator (For Tow Vehicle)
When an auxiliary or “house” battery is installed in a recreation vehicle, it is the nature
of parallel circuity to draw energy from both batteries. A device called an “isolator”
should be installed for two purposes. First it receives current from the alternator and
controls distribution of energy to both batteries. Secondly, it serves as a check valve to
prevent energy from being drawn from tow vehicle chassis battery. Energy in the tow
vehicle is now preserved to start your engine.
Two types of isolators are available, mechanical and solid state. Each type has an
amperage rating (70-amp per side) to indicate it's capacity of operation. The solid state
type of isolator, although typically more expensive, will provide the best overall perfor-
mance. Your dealer can assist you in purchase and installation.
Exterior Lights
All exterior lights are energized by tow vehicle power, such as tail lights, clearance lights,
turn signals, brake lights, etc.
Below is a diagram (Fig. 4-9) showing the color code of a seven (7) wire harness and
connector and the exterior lighting schematics. Also note, positive wire is attached to
battery to feed power to travel trailer.
The connector between the tow vehicle and your RV may build up corrosion with
extended use, and should be cleaned periodically to insure good electrical contact.

Fuse and Bulb Chart
Fuses: All fuses for interior of travel trailer and external porch lights are located in fuse
panel. This panel is placed near the converter.
WARNING:
Do not replace circuit breakers or fuses with a higher current
rating than those supplied with the new camper. Over-fusing can cause a fire
hazard by overheating the electrical wiring.
When attaching wire leads to a tow vehicle, carefully and tightly tape all connections for
moisture protection.
