Well Sir, I did just what you're thinking of a couple of years back. But, when I got done cleaning both house and chassis battery trays and repainting them, when it came time to re-installing the cables and "parasitic" wires that were attached to both the negatives and positives of both the house and chassis batteries, I removed ALL of those parasitic wires and placed them on independent lugs and or, grounds.

"snip"

I have to wonder if that mass of wiring in your photos is reflective of the majority of MH's? I have a DP and there is no comparison between my battery bank any yours. Not a slam, I'm just surprised at the maze of wires.

Hershey,
Well Sir, we are the third owners of this coach. I'm dead sure the second owners never did anything like you see in the pictures. He had a hard time tying his own shoes, much less any battery wiring. And, I never met the original purchasers so, I don't know if they did any of it either. I suspect that they didn't. I'm under the assumption that Itasca did this but, I have no real basis for proof. None of it looked really "shaudy", it all seemed to be uniform.

I've been told by some other Winne and Itasca owners that theirs was the same when they acquired them. So, I don't know Sir.
