Can you describe what was wired incorrectly? Others may benefit from your experience. Makes me wonder what else is wired wrong in RVs that is never identified or fixed. Quality control across the industry seems questionable to me.
A related question: On the diagram it shows coach batteries being able to connect to the chassis battery through an Emergency-Start solenoid and some relatively small wires/cables. It also shows power has to flow through a 100-Amp breaker.
I'm not familiar with these kinds of breakers, so I'm asking if they can handle much higher current for short periods to start a V10? With a dead chassis battery you may need 500 Amps or more.
Or is the intent here to transfer power from house batteries to chassis battery over a few minutes and then try to start engine? Or am I missing something else?
