coach.
Second, a battery isolator may be installed in your tow vehicle to
prevent power drain from batteries in both vehicles. This device
“isolator” has two useful purposes. First, it sends current from the
alternator to both batteries simultaneously. Secondly, the isolator
prevents draw from the recreational vehicle through the battery of
the tow vehicle, preserving power to start the engine.
Contact your dealer should you desire an isolator for your protection.
Two types are available, mechanical type, or solid state which is the

Exterior Lights and Connector, 12 Volt
Power for exterior lights, such as tail lights, turn, clearance and

these terminals occasionally to insure good electrical contact.
