Battery switch wiring on my 96 Bounder?
Hi guys. I noticed that when I picked my 96 Bounder up from having the roof sealed the backup camera wouldn’t work and the house lights didn’t come on. The motor ran and drove but when I hit the main ...

My '94 Bounder the 'Main' operated the House circuits and the 'Aux' operated the chassis circuits. Each system had it's own 'power on, power off' top hat type relay and both were inside the BCC. Those relays are easily taken apart and the contacts cleaned and polished. As far as knowing exactly what the Main and Aux solenoids powered up never really mattered. I'd just press the Main and Aux when getting ready to leave, and go.
The alternator output was controlled by the BCC, and it would first charge the chassis battery after starting, than 2 minutes (or longer) later it would close a relay and also charge the house batteries...if they weren't too low. Low like if they were bad or I had been dry camping. In that case, shore power would charge them up at the next RV park. But shore power would not charge the chassis batts, had to add a Schmacher charger for that.
BTW, the '94 I use to own is a diesel and I have schematics I found online that show much of the BCC wiring and setup. PM me if you want copies of the PDFs.
