We just bought a used 2016 Thor 34j windsport. On the first day on the road home we were stopped at a light and smelled something electrical burning, but no smoke. Seemed to be coming from the dash or motor. Checked wireing and could not find anything wrong. But now when we stop and turn of the engine the chassis battery dyes within minutes. The engine is charging the house and chassis batteries fine when ever the engine is running, the generator is on or we are hooked to shore power. I think the battery isolator (BIRD) is either fried or one of the associated solenoids is stuck in the charge mode. Which would discharge the chassis battery if there is not shore or alternator power charging the batteries. My BIG question is where is the BIRD located and also where are the other two solenoids located. I can find electric diagrams and understand how it works but none of them give me a location so I can find out which component is bad.
