My brother needed his battery back. I unplugged the MH from the house current and it still seemed strong. Tested almost full. So I don't think I hurt it with that old converter.
I popped in 2 new group 27 deep cycle batteries and plugged it back in.
In reading the documentation that came with the motorhome, there appears to be a battery isolator somewhere. I assume this is to allow the alternator to charge the house batteries but to keep the house batteries from draining the chassis battery. I've yet to find it, but I haven't traced all of the wires under the hood yet. There was a big, fat solenoid mounted to the alternator bracket that also does not appear to be factory. I'll sort it out once the new engine is in place.
