All wiring used in your coach meets correct amp rating correlated

BATTERY
—AUXILARY.
The RV battery is placed in parallel circuitry with the battery on your
tow vehicle, which is NOT SUPPLIED by manufacture. Care needs
to be exercised not to drain both batteries together. There are two
methods of avoiding this condition:
First, disconnect the tow vehicle when parked.
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
best and most expensive.
