Charge circuit diode?
We have a charge circuit from the MH to the toad, but we're still having problems with the car battery going low. Have yet to pull fuses, and don't really want to (PITA). I'm wondering if maybe when t...

The problem is many things are tied in on the opposite side of the ignition switch in different places. Key has to be off to run slides, & front shades. Key on to run jacks. I could break into the ignition line and mount a relay in front of MH. & run a #10 wire all the way back 34 ft. Or I could mount relay in back & run lighter control wire all the way back. On a PU charging a TT battery you would never ntice the problem. I could unhook the plug every time I stop. Or use a diode in the charge line. I temporarialy used a diode today and all worked ok. Hard to find heavy duty diodes while on the road. Radio Shack in Idaho had some 6 amp diodes for 75 cents each. Used 2. Al worked ok. When I get back home will make it more permanent. Still cheaper than buying a TOAD charge which basically does the same thing.
