This is my first post as a new member on this forum. Also new to RVing. Bought a used (1993) Four Winds Motorhome a month ago and have browsed this forum many times for info. The way things are going, I could post something on this topic every day!
Today I replaced the chassis battery. It was dead just as we were about to leave our campsite this weekend. Thankfully, I got a jump and it started right up!
Also today, I found a bad splice in the wire under the dash that is the lead for what I think is the battery isolator solenoid. Had the solenoid worked as it should have, I'm assuming I could have started with the dead battery using a boost from the coach batteries.
Unfortunately, this coach was used and it didn't come with a whole lot of information, so I'm in the process of drawing my own schematics.
