isolator

Bought a lightly-used 2019 Thor Hurricane 29M from a dealer. Took one long-drive overnight trip, camped with no shore power and all 12V systems worked fine. Parked at home, connected to shore power briefly, and it was then unplugged for the last month. I went in and out a few times; step...

I am conisdering having a 180 Amp from DC power engineering and have a couple of questions. Does anyone know the gauge of wire used from the battery + to the alternator? I started peeling back the insulation but could not make out any writing stating the size What are the fusible link(s) rated...

Hi all, My isolator for my 2001 Dodge Roadtrek 190 Versatile went out, and I’m trying to figure out how to get a new one. Does anyone have models and makes they recommend? Where can I find the right isolator for the job? Many thanks!

Hi all, I'm doing a few more modifications to my 2017 FWC Fleet front dinette electrical system. (it sits on a 2015 Tacoma) As it stands I have changed the solar controller to a Blue Sky Solar boost 3000I, I have 3 100 watt Renogy rigid solar panels on the roof. I went to the bother of...

I am having a perplexing issue with the battery isolator installed in my camper. The old one appeared to have a bad solenoid so I replaced it with one made by Blue Sea. The issue is that the house batteries are not being charged. When the engine is on, my multimeter shows that there is...

Background: House batteries replaced in Jan. 2019. No problem with the battery all summer and charging off the alternator or shore power. Issue: Took a 400 mile trip with house batteries off the entire drive. Arrived to discover batteries completely depleted. Connected to shore power and...

The symptoms: While parked, my cabin battery would drain over time despite having nothing turned on and the power shut off. Also, although the battery would charge while driving down the road, it never charged properly while on shore power. This took a while (over a year) for me to finally...

Hello! Long time lurker, I thought I would share the upgrades I've done to my Bobcat's electrical system as this info could be useful to someone else. I purchased an All Terrain Bobcat Shell model last year and had it installed on my 2015 Chevy Colorado at the ATC shop in Reno in September. It...

Is there a conflict between the alternator charging the House battery and the Solar charger ALSO charging the same battery. Should the Isolator block excess power from the Alternator if the Solar Controller believes the battery is full?

Hello everyone! I tried to search but was unable to find the answer, so here it goes. We have a 2014 Itasca Viva 23b which currently has one 12v AGM factory battery under it. On black Friday I ordered 2 100ah Battle Born lithium batteries and a LiFeP4 Battery Isolation Manager (...

Hi there! First, I want to express my gratitude for all the time and effort so many of you put into sharing your knowledge & experiences on this forum. I’ve learned so much so far thanks to your thorough explanations. Inevitably though, more and more questions arose and while I tried to find...

As I have been considering replacing my Sure Power 1314a Battery Isolator, I recently sent a request for more information on a company (located in Montana) called Hellroaring Technologies that has made battery isolators for a long time and got a response back that I thought I would share. I of...

Hi there, Need some help. This is my first sportsmobile. I have a 1990 ford E150. Done by sportsmobile. Dual tanks. Bought it 3 months ago and never able to get the battery to charge. The person I bought from replaced the battery for me 2 weeks after I purchased it from him. So the house...

My 36mq does not seem to be charging the chassis battery while having the shore power as my energy supplier. I was informed and checked my manual to confirm that it should charge the chassis battery once the house batteries reach a particular voltage. Currently, the monitor is showing fully...

Hi Guys, In need for help, I'm stuck. I'm trying to set-up a battery isolator on my bus , the diode kind, a Sure Power 200A 1 input 2 output. My engine is a T444E. So here is my problem: without the isolator, my engine batteries read a nice 12.7 V. When turning the engine on, the voltage...

This may be a long story, but here goes. I am a fairly new Class B owner. The other night, the Check Gauges light went on and the alternator gauge on my 2002 Dodge Ram Van 3500 Leisure Travel went all the way to the left. I turned off all electricity and made it to the nearest campground...

Our ’15 Greyhawk 29KS (Marge) suffers from continually discharging coach battery. The Master Power switch inside the door does nothing, no longer causes the relay to trip or the LED on it to extinguish. I have Marge booked in for warranty service next week, but given the total inefficiency...

We have two 6V 230 amp hour golf cart batteries that we had wired to an isolator. After we discharged them the first time to around 50% we were never able to get them back to full charge. We kept taking readings and at resting stage they would put off about 12.43 on average. After a long...

We have an T444e five speed with a delco remi 22si alternator. Recently we got two 6V golf cart batteries and wired them in series for a small 12 v system. We want to charge them off the alternator so we bought an isolator. Our question is if we hook up a battery isolator, does it require...

On my Citation Sprinter 24SR I replaced the stock group 27 wet-cell batteries (they were shot after 4 months) with AGM group 24's . Since then the isolator switch (on my Sprinter 24SR, left side of step-well) has failed twice. Failure means shore power doesn't charge the batteries, engine...

Ok, people! I have just bought an RV Bus Thomas Saf-T-Liner 1993 RE Diesel yesterday... (applauses here). And I am driving it from Connecticut to San Diego over a month (yeah!) I drove it 100 miles yesterday and today or monday I am taking it to preventive maintenance. But the main thing I...
