BT Cruiser Emergency start switch
We bought an 07 Gulf Stream BT Cruiser model 5211 on a chevy chassis yesterday from a man that has severe form of memory issues and couldn't remember what the emergency start switch was for. I presume...

I'm concerned with the interconnect solenoid failing when we're drycamping with no other vehicles around to jumper. The likelihood of this solenoid failing is far greater than both the coach battery system and the engine battery system failing at the same time.
- We do have a built-in 4KW Onan generator.
- We don't have solar.
- We - and other RV'ers - have experienced failures of this solenoid.
- We don't tow.
- We prefer maximum non-tow self-sufficiency ... and thus not having to rely on others being around/available for help ... any more than absolutely necessary when on RV trips.
- We have the space to easily bring along our little Honda EX650 suitcase generator, as we also need it for anytime/anyweather drycamp battery charging.
- We do carry along a spare interconnect solenoid, but firing up the EX650 would be far easier and quicker than installing another solenoid should the coach battery system or engine battery system fail unexpectedly when drycamping.
