All wiring used in your coach meets correct amp rating correlated with
fuses and breakers in respective panels as required by code.
The RV battery is placed in parallel circuitry with the battery on your tow
vehicle. Care needs to be exercised not to drain both batteries together.
There are two methods of preventing this condition.
First, disconnect the tow vehicle when parked and/or using your coach.
Second, a battery isolator may be installed in your tow vehicle to prevent
power drain from batteries. This isolator has two useful purposes. First, it
sends current from the alternator to both batteries simultaneously.
Secondly, the isolator prevents power draw from tow vehicle battery
preserving power to start engine.
Contact your dealer should you desire an isolator for your protection. Two
types are available, mechanical type, or solid state, which is the best and
most expensive.
Exterior Lights and Connector, 12-Volt
Power for exterior lights, such as tail lights, turn, clearance and brake
lights, is supplied by the tow vehicle.
Note the diagram above, showing the color code and numbers from the
seven way connector and how power is fed to the exterior lights. The
positive red wire is attached to the battery to transfer power to the coach.

DO NOT replace circuit breakers or fuses with a higher
current rating than those supplied with your coach. Over-
fusing can cause a fire hazard by overheating the electrical
wiring.
