86 Glendale Sterling, Gel batteries
Hey guys so I bought this motorohome with 130,000KM on it. There is only one deep cycle battery under the hood with an allanson charger converter. The pervious owner had installed a small solar panel ...

Well I just tried to pull out the converter box but the cable is too short to even pull it out. You will have to excuse me since I'm typing on my phone with a 5" screen. I'm very confused on how to wire up the additional gel batteries since I'm not sure which wire powers the unit with some 15 amp auto bus fuses, and than on the left of the box there is a separator with the 120v circuit breakers and what not. Either way it would have to be taken apart from the front. Does anyone own a glendale sterling with the allanson 40 amp converter that knows where the distribution block is?
There has been about two previous owners of this motorhome then screwed with the wiring so no colors match and it's very confusing. Does anyone know if there is a device like a toner that will help for rw90 electrical wiring?
If I can't figure this out I'm going to install another single deep cycle battery in parrarel to the house battery under the hood which would power my subwoofer going behind the driver seat. Than take my four gel cells and install them in the generator compartment, wire them in parrarel. After which I can either install a switch or simply use jumper cables to the deep cycle my sub is running on when I need more capacity. I would still need to buy a solar panel and most likely a 120v gel charger and charge the gel cells separately.
