Actually, when I bought the camper, brought it home, set for 3 months. Went to start it and chassis battery was dead. I used the emergency start and worked great. But battery light wouldn’t go out. Took it to the Ford dealer. Got it covered under warranty. Said the two diodes were blown. Actually didn’t cost me . ( covered). But valuable lesson. ( think when I looked up the price, like $250
I now have a negative blade disconnect on the chassis and on the negative coach batteries. After I hit the store button, I disconnect the coach. 5 years latter and on the originals.
