This coach does not have a or need a Trik-L-Start. That was in my Class B. Funny thing, I bought one to install in this coach before I understood how the battery control system worked and it is on a shelf in my garage.

The alternator will charge the chassis and house batteries and shore, generator or solar will charge the house and chassis batteries. It will isolate them during discharge. It's pretty slick but it's also the reason I'm having issues with my charge light.
