Battery Isolator For TT. Yes or No?
Sorry for a stupid question if this has been done to death, but I've been thinking that I should install a battery isolator to keep my truck battery and trailer battery separate. When I started doing...

An isolating solenoid will work fine.
A diode isolator will drop about 0.7VDC, which could be a problem.
I installed a solid-state CMOS isolator with very little voltage drop from:
Battery Isolator/Combiner
I did this in conjunction with a dual battery in our Suburban (bought a second battery tray from GM used for diesel trucks that bolted right in), which acts as a backup starting battery. It isolates the second underhood battery and also the camper battery, but keeps them fully charged.
