What was your best DIY road side repair?
Here is mine. While traveling at night my alternator belt blew. I was able to get off the highway and into a parking lot. I don't have a toad and there was nothing around me that I could walk to....

the 40amp or more converters NOW common, did not use to be common
an RV with a Diode isolator is not going to charge the chassis battery period
the jump start function is only momentary
although with a good converter, a jumper cable between house positive and chassis positive, would do the trick
It depends on how the diode isolator(s) is/are configured. Some will charge the chassis battery.
Then there are jumper cables to tie the two battery banks together.

diode types charge everything from the alternator
there is NO back feed configuration to run power from the house side to the engine side
and i have yet to see the house converter connected to the center feed post of a diode isolator so it could charge everything when on shore power
and yes jumper cable hot to hot
i think I mentioned that in a previous post
